I am pretty sure you can do an arsignal -c hostname[:port} to force a reread of the config file

It is easy enough to create a cron (or task scheduler) process to copy the file(s) at a specific interval for archival purposes to a different location on the hard drive. I have a process that does this every 10 minutes and then zips them up so I can go back a complete day in logs (Part of the copy appends the hour and minute to the log file name) Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Jason Miller Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2013 11:37 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: Attachments Vanishing ** To answer the question about new log files, yes.

We have maybe 2 people on at that time of the night. Also, is there a way to have the log files generate a new one when they get to be a certain size? (e.g., arfilter.log, arfilter1.log, arfilter2.log, .) The reason I ask this is that I turned on the logging about 7:40 am yesterday and it stopped logging at like 9:38 am and the file was over 2 gbs in size. So, I didn't get anything I was looking for. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Grooms, Frederick W Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 7:17 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: Attachments Vanishing ** Leaving the logging on really depends on your system.

If you have Filter/SQL/Escalation logging turned on you should be able to search for the INSERT/DELETE to the B table and see who did it and if you are really lucky the workflow that did it. One you know who and when you can hopefully identify a user procedure that is being done (or not done) or system oddity that is doing it. In the last 8 months or so I have become a fan of leaving server side logging on full time. I have been able to track down so many odd things by logging API/SQL/Filter/Escalations to one ~2 GB log file. PLUG: I have seen a preview of the tools that will be demonstrated in the "Log Parsing and Management" session at WWRUG13 (http://wwrug13.com/breakouts.html) and these are amazing for making that 2 GB log file something manageable and useful in a hurry.

Then they select Next Stage & Save to the db (all of this is at the Mode = Create). Then we hear that the attachment either never arrives to the other team or it "vanishes" after a "couple of days". -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Pargeter, Christie :CO IS Sent: Monday, July 22, 2013 11:16 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Attachments Vanishing ** Has anyone had this with 7.6.4?
