NAME
       flow-expire  -  Manage  storage	of  flow file archives by expiring old
       data.

SYNOPSIS
       flow-expire [ -h ]  [ -d debug_level ]	[  -e  expire_count  ]	 [  -E
       expire_size ]  -w workdir

DESCRIPTION
       The  flow-expire	 utility will remove the oldest flow files in a direc‐
       tory based on either a count of files or space utilization. The	direc‐
       tory  is	 recursively searched for flow files. Files that do not have a
       flow-tools signature will be ignored. The internal timestamp is used so
       backups	or  copies  of	the flow files that do not retain the original
       timestamp will not impact the operation of flow-expire.	flow-expire is
       typically  used	to  manage  storage in a distributed environment where
       flows are collected on a different server than they are archived.

OPTIONS
       -d debug_level
	      Enable debugging.

       -e expire_count
	      Retain the maximum number of files so that the total file	 count
	      is less than expire_count.

       -E expire_size
	      Retain  the maximum number of files so that the total storage is
	      less than expire_size. The letters b,K,M,G can be used as multi‐
	      pliers, ie 16 Megabytes is 16M.

       -h     Display help.

       -w workdir
	      Work in workdir.

EXAMPLES
       Remove  the oldest flow files in /flows/krc4 until the total storage is
       less then 2 Gigabytes.

       flow-expire -E2Gig -w /flows/krc4

       Remove the oldest flow files in /flows/krc4 until the total  number  of
       files is less then 100.

       flow-expire -e100 -w /flows/krc4

BUGS
       Empty directories are not removed.
