ADUMP Cleanup
Audit files cannot be deleted like trace files deletion by ADR Command Interpreter (ADRCI), so we need to delete them at OS-level by ourselves.
In this post, we use OS command find to search for candidates older than 7 days and delete them subsequently. For example:
[oracle@primary01 ~]$ find /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump -type f -mtime +7 -name '*.aud' -exec rm -f {} \;
In this command, we find and remove audit files which are older than 7 days in the audit file dump destination (AUDIT_FILE_DEST, also called ADUMP).
The question is, how to check the location of audit files (ADUMP)?
To automate all log deletion, you may periodically delete log files by scheduling a cron job.
