• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

logwatch 4.3.2 not cleaning up /tmp

Hi All,

We're running logwatch 4.3.2 on our plesk server and all of a sudden logwatch doesn't seem to be cleaning up after itself. We had to go in and manually delete the logwatch file from /tmp. With /tmp only being 95M and the logwatch file filling this up, customer's scripts and database can't write to /tmp any more.

Any suggestions on why logwatch is not cleaning up after itself?

Currently running Plesk 8.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 6).
