Issue/Introduction

 SMR Started task is generating the following message: SMR023A RINGBUFFER IN OVERFLOW STATE. CURRENT SYSLOG LINES BEING LOST. This tells us that not all of the current SYSLOG is being collected and that you may lose some information.

Resolution

In the SMR PPOPTION dataset is member PL34SOPT. You will have some values in this member on these lines where the 'nn' is specified.

CURRLOG BUFFSIZE=nn,
        CLCTINT=nn   

A small buffer size forces SMR to grab smaller snapshots of the SYSLOG at any given interval. CA recommends that you increase the values to something that would better accommodate your active environment.

ex:

CURRLOG BUFFSIZE=96,
        CLCTINT=15 

CLCTINT is the collection interval and the BUFFSIZE is the size of buffer to be used. Another way to resolve the problem is to reduce the interval number to a smaller value and limit the number of times collections are made.

Typically, we recommend the increase in the BUFFSIZE value.
