Puppet users - Jul 2013 - Pruning policy required ?

I''m seeing on my puppetmasters that after a while, their 
/var/lib/puppet/reports folder eventually hogs up all available disk space. 
I''m just wondering how other people face this problem; is there some
puppet
configuration that will take care of this. Otherwise, I can implement a 
simple cron task.

THanks,
Reginald

There isn''t an configuration that I''m aware of and I use the
following cron.

# Puppet Name: puppet delete reports
43 * * * * find /var/lib/puppet/reports/ -mmin +300 -type f -print0 | 
xargs -0 -r rm > /dev/null 2>&1

300 minutes might be too quick depending on how you use reports or how 
much you care about them. Modify as needed.

"tidy" (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#tidy)
has been suggested.

I have not had good luck with it. I tried use it to clean files off of an FTP
server that were 7 days old. It would not remove directories.
I used a cron job instead . Two find commands: 

/usr/bin/find <ftp users home> -depth -mindepth 2 ! -type d -ctime +7
-exec rm -v {} \;
/usr/bin/find <ftp users home> -depth -mindepth 2 -type d -empty -exec
rmdir -v {} \;

The first one cleans out files older than 7 days. 
The second one cleans out empty directories.
