A lot of our switches are giving "logging is stopped" together with messages like
CP100000000 GlobalRouter HW WARNING Free space on /intflash is 143MB. Please clean up /intflash directory to make free space larger than 200MB.
I'm not sure what this would be affecting, maybe a firmware upgrade could go wrong?
Also log files for support would be missing I guess in case we needed to open a case for some issue.
However it seems cumbersome to go to hundreds of switches to clean this up manually. Surely an automatic procedure must exist!?

i am not aware of an automated procedure, but the removal of log files seems easy.
just use del /intflash/shared/log* -y , which will delete all old log files. only the current file in use cannot be deleted.
if you have a management system (like XMC oder XIQ-SE for example) you could execute such command(s) for multiple switches simultanously by selecting the group of devices, right click -> tasks -> CLI commands and just type in "enable" and the line above (or any other additional commands) and click "Execute".
It might also be useful to look for core dump files, using CLI "show core-files" ...

From my understanding older revisions of the firmware (Operating system) stored logs in /intflash/shared which is what you are seeing.
Newer firmware (Anything after 8.5.x.x) store them elsewhere, so this problem goes away. 8.5 has been out since 2022, we have been running 9.0 on our platforms for at least a year if not more, although new switches I've just rolled out are 9.1.

That is not what the article says.
In fact it is not at all about the flash becoming full.
It's just about logs no longer to be found in /intflash, but in /intflash/shared instead (starting with release 8.5)
We are running 8.10 and it's all the same. The problem is the "archive" in /intflash/shared writing to flash until it's full.

That is of course the radical solution.
I thought in the era of A.I. the switch would at least be cleaning up after itself 😂
