May be Doug or David can explain why this option (Max-Log-History) is not
documented or added as an available parameter on the Server Information Log
tab, I do know it works :) as provided by BMC engineering to me this last week.
In my opinion the original overwrite functionality of log was not well thought
out, especially for those sql and filter logs - Max-Log-History works much
better.

Hi,
I have gone through the 7.6.04 config guide, where ar.cfg/conf is explained.
There are no such thing as a Max-Log-History option!
The Max-Log-File-Size is there though, and this option has been around for
a very long time. I checked the doc for version 4.5, and it is in there.
Just specify the number of bytes you want in your log, and when the system
fills that up, it will start overwriting the file from the beginning
again.
And no, this does not apply to arerror.log.
All log files can be rotated though. But there is no built in
functionality for this.

I don't think so - but that would have been nice.
I say that because the max log file parameter doesn't seem to apply to
arerror.log so I don't expect this to either. L

Any chance that applies to the arerror log too?

That's more clear to me now. We're still at 7.5 so I guess we'll look at
the next version that comes out for an upgrade hopefully next year.
Thanks for the info Andrew and Ravi !

It is going to help so much in working with support. Can't tell you how
many times a log has been unworkable or useless because it has rolled over
itself due to the fixed size readable limit, even 0 limit will stop at
2gb - not that is readable/manageable anyway
Max-Log-History: 3
Sql.log - current log
Sql.001.log ß oldest generation
Sql.002.log
Sql.003.log ß latest generation /rolled log

Hi Andrew,
Not sure what 'generational' logging is. Are you referring to a rolling
log, where you could set a max and then oldest entries drop off when the
max size is reached to make room for new entries? That would be great to
have some logs continually running for those unexpected times when you'd
like to look at something that happened but the logs weren't on.
Regards,
Susan

I've been wanting generational logging in ARS for a long time.
I just learned that is now available with a new ar.cg parameter
Max-Log-History
I don't know when this was implemented, maybe it was with 7.6.x but I wish
BMC would have advertised this to admins or made this accessible on the
Server Information Tab.
e.g. Max-Log-History: 20
