Re: [nv-l] web server log files

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

You get one of those daily. 

I have not tried this, but I see in
/usr/OV/www/conf/jettly.xml this clause:
 <Set name="LogSink">
    <New class="org.mortbay.util.WriterLogSink">
      <Arg><SystemProperty
name="jetty.log" default="./logs"/>/yyyy_mm_dd.request.log</Arg>
      <Set name="RetainDays">10</Set>
      <Set name="Append">true</Set>
    </New>
  </Set>

My systems keep 10 days of those files,
so that might be it. 

Another big waster of space is the zip
files under /usr/OV/www/webapps/netview/warf. You get another one every
time you use the java security console, and they don't age off as far as
I can tell. I run an age-off script nightly and weekly to handle various
logs, since I generally add a lot of logs myself. I handle those with that.
 

A bunch of other things are controlled
in the /usr/OV/conf/*.properties files. They have records in them like
this:
grep appender *.properties
maputil-log4j.properties:log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=100KB
maputil-log4j.properties:log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=1
maputil-log4j.properties:log4j.appender.R.File=/usr/OV/log/maputil.log

Subject	[nv-l] web server log files

NV 7.1.3 / AIX 5.1
 
My Netview server directory /usr/OV/www/logs
has log files that are huge in size and thus end up making /usr/OV
run out of space causing all sorts of problems. An example is "83180015
Jun 15 23:59 2004_06_15.request.log",
seems like since we started using the web consoles all the requests are
being logged in. I would like to log errors/exceptions only in order to
control the file sizes and thus filesystem space. Anyone knows where I
can specify a logging level for the web server? Thanks.
