Description

Hi everyone,

I'm using LibreNMS in Docker, using the officiel github repo.
I've enabled the rrdcached container with the env RRDCACHED_SERVER=rrdcached:42217.

Everything is working fine and my LibreNMS is rather fast.
Now I've been using it for a year and a half and I'm going to have to do something, because the rrd_purge 183 option doesn't work, and LNMS is using ~750GB of RRD data...

Indeed, in the doc, the mount point of librenms and rrdcached is not the same for RRD files.

I tried to put the same mount point for RRDs, LibreNMS did the cleaning, but I had problems displaying graphs:

So, I restored a snapshot to recover the graphs (yes because before trying, I had made a snapshot).

Does anyone have the solution to be able to use the rrd_purge option with rrdcached?
Or, that rrdcached itself does the cleaning.

Thanks !

Expected behaviour

Respect the rrd_purge option with rrdcached.

Actual behaviour

There is no purge at all. My LNMS is using 780Go of RRD data.

Steps to reproduce

Use LibreNMSin Docker. Follow the official doc. See the problem.
