[Dspace-tech] Log file size and management

2012-04-19 Thread Alan Orth
All, I'm curious about how people are managing their log files. In particular, I've noticed that dspace.log.* and cocoon.log.* are around 200MB apiece, per day. We zip them at night, but even so, they're taking a ridiculous amount of storage space on our VPS. What are people doing with

Hi Alan, take a look at logrotate. It's a standard unix tool to manage your logs, including splitting logs by day (DSpace does this itself), keeping the last N days around and compressing and/or moving the rest elsewhere. It's very configurable. Regards, ~~helix84

Also, if some logs are too detailed for you which makes them grow too large, you can raise loglevel, e.g. from INFO to WARN. Although I personally wouldn't do it. https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-TurningonDebugging(optional) Regards, ~~helix84

As i know , the log files are not needed if you've generated your stat reports, you just keep that generated ones into archival, the log files are just the source for the task, not the outcomes. 2012/4/19 Alexandre Magaz Graça alexandre.ma...@udl.cat Al 19/04/12 09:53, En/na Alan Orth ha
