PSA for ex/current Nixstats users

I recovered over 350GB from over 50 servers by deleting leftover logs by Nixstats.
I would suggest any other ex/current Nixstats users to check if Nixstats is creating huge log files at within /var/log (nixstatsagent.log)
I only discovered this recently after removing Nixstats, as it's pretty much been abandoned in favour of 360 Monitoring.

Never used Nixstats, but surely it must have some sort of log rolling/pruning feature?
Anecdotal evidence suggests not.
Does 360 have the same issues considering its pretty much the same code base?
No idea. I only tested it on a dev server. It's defiantly very similar to Nixstats, but I can see there are a heap of changes and improvements (so they can charge you more).
Hetrix FTW regardless
Indeed! Still waiting for Service Status Online notifications to become a thing (not very fun checking a service reported offline at 4am, only to discover it's back online).
From a quick glance on Github, the logging code looks pretty similar still so I wouldn't be surprised.
the fact that 360 monit and nixstats are both owned by webpros, makes me think, they just wanted to kill the brand.
