Description:
Trace and alarm logs getting too large (~2Gig) which stops DSAs from restarting.
An enhancement has been included in eTrust Directory version 8.1 build 942, which enables trace and alarm log rotation. Although turning on trace level debugging is not a best practice, it may be required for monitoring and debugging purposes over the course of days or weeks. This functionality works in exactly the same way that the other daily logs rotate, except for one small difference. The current day's trace/alarm log will always be known as "{dsaName}_trace.log" & "{dsaName}_alarm.log".
Solution:
*Please note that this solution only applies to build 942 and higher.
To enable the log rotation for the Alarm and Trace logs for any DSA:
There are two conditions that must be met for the rollover of the log files to take effect:
When the two conditions above are met, the current alarm and trace logs will have the names "{dsaName}_trace.log? and "{dsaName}_alarm.log". The previous day's alarm and trace logs will be renamed to "{dsaName}_trace_ccyymmdd.log" and "{dsaName}_alarm_ccyymmdd.log" respectively.
