I found the root cause of my problem. After running of about 1 month using the development environment my log file grew to over 24GB. I had no idea this log file was even there since it’s in a less than standard location (/opt/puppet-dashboard/log/development.log). I switched to using the production environment and that initially helped along with purging about 3GB of my report data from the database, but ultimately, the very large log file was impacting things as well.

At the least we should add something to the README about rotating logs using logrotate or ‘rake log:clear’. I’ve also seen that you can configure rails to something similar with config.logger = Logger.new(“#{RAILS_ROOT}/log/#{RAILS_ENV}.log”, 50, 1.megabyte), so maybe we want to make something like that a default?
