Issue/Introduction

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/dx-apm-saas/SaaS/implementing-agents/migrate-agents-using-cloud-proxy.html

The documented settings don't work as described. When I increase the file size, it still remains at 10MB to roll. Also, when I reduce the days to keep files, they don't get removed and many days are kept.

# Logging
logging.file.max-history: 1
logging.file.total-size-cap: 5GB
#logging.level.com.ca.apm.cloudproxy: DEBUG

 

Update the Log File History and Size

Open ./

config/application.yml

 and then add the following hidden properties:

logging.file.max-history:<number-of-days>

By default, the log files rotate when they reach 10 MB. The rotated log files are retained for seven days, unless you update the value of this setting.

Example:

 logging.file.max-history:14

In this example, the log files are retained for 14 days.

logging.file.total-size-cap:<size-in-bytes-including-units>

Define the size of the total log archive. When the archive size exceeds the threshold, backups are deleted. The supported units are: byte; kilobyte; megabyte; gigabyte; terabyte

Example

: logging.file.total-size-cap:1GB

In this example, when the total log archive size exceeds 1GB the backups get deleted.

Resolution

For maximum log file size, use 'logging.file.max-size' property.

 

logging.file.total-size-cap is the total size of log backups to be kept.
