Expanding the Log File Partition

If you want to allocate more space for your log files, expand the instance disk and then resize the Traffic Manager’s file system to take advantage of the extra space.

ATTENTION
Before you begin, make sure you have performed a backup of your Traffic Manager configuration and log files.

GCE allows you to increase the size of the persistent disk associated with your Traffic Manager instance as necessary, even if the instance is running. For full details, see the GCE Documentation website:

https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/add-persistent-disk#resize_pd

After you have increased the disk capacity, resize the Traffic Manager log partition to take advantage of the additional space.

To resize the log partition

1.Engage the instance console, or connect using SSH.

2.Log in as the “admin” user.

3.Resize the /logs partition by typing the following command:

z-expand-logs-partition

Be aware that SSH Intrusion Prevention is disabled temporarily during the resize process.
