Automated Server Log Cleanup via Email Alerts with SSH - Nginx, Docker, System - n8n Workflow | Neura Market
Automated Server Log Cleanup via Email Alerts with SSH - Nginx, Docker, System
This n8n workflow monitors email alerts for disk utilization exceeding 80%, extracts the server IP, logs into the server, and purges logs from Nginx, PM2, Docker, and system files to clear disk space.
### Key Insights
- Ensure email alerts are consistently formatted with server IP details.
- SSH access must be properly configured to avoid authentication failures.
### Workflow Process
1. Initiate the workflow with the `Check Disk Alert Emails` node when an email triggers on high disk usage.
2. Parse the email to extract the server IP using the `Extract Server IP from Email` node.
3. Set up SSH credentials and paths manually with the `Prepare SSH Variables` node.
4. Execute cleanup commands to delete logs from Nginx, PM2, Docker, and system files using the `Run Log Cleanup Commands via SSH` node.
### Usage Guide
- Import the workflow into n8n and configure email and SSH credentials.
- Test with a sample email alert to verify IP extraction and log deletion.
### Prerequisites
- Email service (e.g., IMAP or API) for alert monitoring
- SSH access with valid credentials
### Customization Options
Modify the `Prepare SSH Variables` node to target specific log directories or adjust cleanup commands for different server setups.
