sudo: unable to mkdir /var/log/sudo-io/00/2A: No space left on device
A script began throwing errors related to not being able to init an I/O plugin sudoers_io: (amazon linux).
I can't get into delete some logs since each time I use the sudo command, it fails to log that I used the command (I am guessing here). Any ideas on how to free up space or delete/rotate the logs?
Output below:
[ec2-user@ip-xx-xx-xx-xx log]$ sudo bash

You apparently enable full output logging in sudo(ers).
The easiest way to free space, probably deleting the sudo logs, is either logging as root, or using su, if your configurations allow it.
Depending on how much /var/log is full, those procedures might or might not be successful. On the worst case, booting in single mode or from a live system will allow you to clean up things.
Unless you have very specific needs to log so much of sudo operations, I would edit /etc/sudoers to change the logging setup. Having such a verbose setup will exhaust quickly again the available space.

[root@test-kompjuteras ~]# df -hi
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root 313K 9.5K 304K 4% /
tmpfs 984K 1 984K 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 126K 44 125K 1% /boot
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_var 250K 250K 0 100% /var
If you have 100% somewhere - you will need to delete some files or to move them on other partition or other storage.

The most possible cause of this problem in case you have free space in the disk (did you check with df -h?) is a problem with inodes. Just run df -i to check inodes usage, for example check var partition here...
[root@test-kompjuteras ~]# df -hi
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root 313K 9.5K 304K 4% /
tmpfs 984K 1 984K 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 126K 44 125K 1% /boot
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_var 250K 250K 0 100% /var
If you have 100% somewhere - you will need to delete some files or to move them on other partition or other storage.
