apm_bridge probe logs size frequently increases - apm_brigde.log grown huge

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

Frequently the apm_bridge log size is increasing a lot, the size of the log exceeds 40gb although the logsize is set to 100000 (100mb)

What is causing this? 

How can we stop log file to grow this much? 

Environment

• DX UIM 23.4.*
• apm_bridge 2.*

 

Cause

topology_service logging enabled (Eg. publish_config_items = 1). 

publish_config_items = 1 is no longer used and can cause issues with log growing. 

Resolution

Switch off any topology services additional logging turned on on the probe: 

 

1) open apm_bridge raw configure

2) go to setup > topology_service

3) Set all values = 0

Eg:

 <topology_service>
      publish_config_items = 0
      save_incoming_graphs = 0
      log_outgoing_request = 0
      enableNewVertexIdFormat = false
   </topology_service>

 

Note: keep loglevel low if no issue is being monitored.
