How do I roll perf log file for a running Smarts server process?




You can roll the log file using a dmctl command. The following dmctl command will roll the perf log file for a SAM/OI server:

BASEDIR/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <InCharge_Domain> invoke ICS_NotificationFactory::ICS-NotificationFactory rollPerformanceDataFile

This will roll the log file to a <log name>.perf.bak file.

This command will work in Smarts SAM 8.1.3 and later versions.
