Issue/Introduction
Issue :
Some log files located on C:\Program files\CA\Directory\dxserver\logs are growing up without control and it is filling the disk capacity.
Environment:
Windows 2008
Cause:
DSA trace was enabled to grab error and warn messages . That is using hardrive space.
Resolution :
Disable Trace on dxserver DSA.
1. Edit the *dsaname.dxc file under DXHOME/config/knowledge folder to confirm the DSA Console is Enabled and to identify which telnet port is being used.
you should see something like:
console_port = 20393
Note : The port # with telnet command is the <console_port> not the <tcp_port>
However, if you see the lines commented like following :
# console-port = 20393
# console-password = "{encoding-method}password-hash"
The above Means you need to follow the instructions mentioned on the same file :
To enable the console port, use the 'dxpassword' utility to generate the password-hash and enter it below, un-commenting
both console-port and console-password lines.
# console-port = 20393
# console-password = "{encoding-method}password-hash"
How to Proceed in case you need to enable the DSA Console :
a) from Command Prompt run :
C:\Users\Administrator>dxpassword Password01
{SHA}xGSvgXKHNDMFy9ZJPFk4hWld9TE=
Where : Password01 , is the password example , you can choose your own to access DSA Console.
{SHA}xGSvgXKHNDMFy9ZJPFk4hWld9TE= , is the output of the hash value for "Password01" after you run the dxpassword command.
b) you need to copy the hash password to *router.dxc file under DXHOME/config/knowledge folder
and will looks like following :
console-port = 20393
console-password = "{SHA}xGSvgXKHNDMFy9ZJPFk4hWld9TE="
c) save the file
d) stop and start the dxservers services by running from command prompt :
dxserver stop all
dxserver start all
2. To access the DSA Console , from cmd execute :
telnet localhost 20393
and you will see the prompt :
DSA Management Console
Please type your password
*** please enter the password , on this example : Password01
You Will See : Welcome to the DSA Management Console
at dsa prompt write the following :
dsa> get trace;
you will See something like this :
trace = error, warn
dsa>
3. If you want to stop it completely, you can do :
set trace=none;
else you can use :
set trace=error;
4. This will be effective in real time without bringing down the DSA.
Once done you can simply close that window and disconnect with
'logout;'
Complete Command Example :
Welcome to the DSA Management Console
dsa> get trace;
trace = error
dsa> logout;
