CacheInternalTicket Folder consuming 6GB of disk space

Post by cici6160 »

I have two OTRS servers that i'm responsible for. One running OTRS v3.3 on CentOS6 which is running as expected. I have an older OTRS server that I recently inherited running OTRS v3.0.11 on CentOS6 that has close to 6GB of data in the /opt/otrs/var/tmp/CacheFileStorable/CacheInternalTicket folder. I have some questions i'm hoping someone can help me with:

1) What are the files in that folder for?
2) Can they safely be deleted?
3) My v3.3 server has less than 20MB in that folder. Why such a difference between the 2 servers? Perhaps a required scheduled job is not running?

Thanks

These file are cached results from database queries etc. There should be an entry in the crontab which starts once a week $HOME/bin/otrs.DeleteCache.pl
My first approach would running this script form the shell and then check how much space is used.
