How to purge automatically as_server and event_demon logs

Issue/Introduction

We need to purge automatically the as_server and event_demon logs to avoid disk space issues. Is this possible?



 

Environment

Workload Automation AE

Resolution

Yes, the solution is to set the “LOGROLLOVER” parameter to the number of days of log you want to keep as in the following example:

LOGROLLOVER=PURGE(365)

This will allow to keep 365 days (one year) of the as_server and event_demon logs under $AUTOUSER/out directory.

Hence, all the logs older than one year will be purged automatically.

This parameter needs to be set in the config.$AUTOSERV file under $AUTOUSER directory.
