Are you certain that hdf5 files are being retained longer than their purge
files specify? What size disk is filling up?
You can run "du -h" on any of the hdf5/ subdirectories (such as satellite,
radar, grid) to see if any of these are unusually large. If, for example,
the satellite directory is taking up the bulk of space in
/awips2/edex/data/hdf5, we can check the satellitePurgeRules.xml first to
confirm the rules exist, and then check the edex-ingest-purge log for any
telltale messages:
grep ERROR /awips2/edex/log/edex-ingest-purge-20170815.log
For example, some data plugins may encounter an error which will disable
purging and print a message to edex-ingest-purge such as:
ERROR 2017-08-15 00:00:00,025 3622 [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-3]
PurgeLogger: EDEX - SATELLITE::Purger for this plugin has reached or
exceeded consecutive failure limit of 3. Data will no longer being purged
for this plugin.
The workaround if you see this error message is the following command (as
root):
edex purge reset
