Question
Can we delete log files with .dsv extension which are filling up the '/isbin' filesystem in an IBM Smart Analytics System?
Answer
The *.dsv files are job run event files which are part of the IBM InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Operations Console and contain information on operational metrics. The EngMonApp service reads the job run event files and write the data into the operations database. After EngMonApp has processed an event file that file is deleted as it is no longer required. You may manually remove these files but will lose information on those operational metrics.
If the *.dsv files are not being cleared, it is possible that the EngMonApp is not running. You can check if EngMonApp is running using the command:
./DSAppWatcher.sh -status
You may start the EngMonApp using the following command:
./DSAppWatcher.sh -start EngMonApp
