I'm using mtail to parse the log to feed metrics in Prometheus.



My mtail rule file (program) had a bug. Mtail produced a verbose log which quickly filled the filesystem.



/tmp/mtail.INFO ->
/tmp/mtail.myhostname.jdoe.log.INFO.20181102-175507.32037


How can I prevent mtail from filling my production filesystem in such situation ?



How to reduce mtail verbosity ?
