Public bug reported: On a busy Xen host with a lot of setup/teardown activity, the xend.log fills up very quickly. Looking at the logs, I discovered that rotation was done by xend itself, and that it rotated when the file reached 1MB and only kept a total of 6 log files before deleting. Given the load on one host, that barely reached 10 hours worth of activity.
Searching for the configuration parameter to change this, I discovered the following: http://src.vmindex.org/xen_3.0.4/xref/src/tools/python/xen/xend/XendLogging.py#45 The variables on line 45 are used on line 85 or so to instantiate the Xend log object with those rotation parameters. It's possible to cowboy in values onto a running system, or to rebuild packages with new values, but this really ought to be a parameter or two in xend-config.sxp ** Affects: xen-3.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- xend 3.0.4 has log rotation parameters hard-coded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128246 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
