Issue/Introduction

When attempting to view recent log entries on the Master node, the following error message appears:

Error:  {“success”:false,”message”:”PAM-CM-4059: Error processing request.  Please contact Administrator.”}

The catalina.out is downloadable, and 1.96Gb.

Cause

It is a defect that this error occurs, but also another defect that allowed the file to get this large.  This underlying defect is that log rotation is not taking place. 

Environment

Release :  3.0.2

Component : PRIVILEGED ACCESS MANAGEMENT

Resolution

Reducing the size of the file, which required an ssh debug session with support resolved the problem.
