Log Files out of Control - How to manage size?

This is a two part question:
1) Our Apache2 error log has grown to 41 GB!!! How can we clear it?
2) Is there a way to limit log file growth?
3) Is there an application to manage log files on a server?
We are running Leopard Server 10.5.x.
Thanks!

1) How do we set up apache to rotate logs? I was checking server admin->web service for configuration options, but didn't see any (we did advanced server configuration).
It's automatic, and AFAIK enabled by default within Mac OS X Server. If you're piling up stuff in your logs, then your server is either very busy, or there are issues or problems being reported in the logs.
2) Where in server admin?
Server Admin > select server > Web > Sites > Logging
Or as an alternative approach toward learning more about Mac OS X Server and its technologies, download the PDF of the relevant [Apple manual|http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html]. Here, you can brute-force search the manual in the Preview tool. Depending on how you best learn, you can read through the various manuals for details on how to configure and operate and troubleshoot the various components, and (for more detail than is available in the Mac OS X Server manuals) for pointers to the component-specific web sites and documents, too.

    Hi Niladri,
    Please open a new discussion for this as it's a different question. Not only is this stated in the guidelines and makes it easier for other members to search for the right things, but it also increases your chances of getting the right answers, because users know you are looking at LSO rather than TEM and because many users, sadly, are driven by points primarily for giving answers and know you could not mark their answer as correct, because it's not your post.
    Please also give context info: which correspondence solution are you using (Smartforms, Adobe forms, SAPscript) and which version of LSO. 

  • Has 903 oc4j fixed / added rotating log files; -out and -err ?

    To be 24/7 an appserver needs to at least support managing the System.out traffic
    that apps, frameworks (BC4J) spew.
    It was suggested that 903 OC4J will support rotating log files?
    Is this true and any help or doc pointers would be great.
    BTW, I'm moving to 903 enterprise with OEM.
    Thanks, curt

    Thanks, curt Curt - there is no way in 903 to rotate log files for a specific OC4J instance.
    There is a feature request in place for this functionality but I am not sure which version it will be delivered with.

  • Why does iTunes U site manager log me out when returning to collection manager?

    So here's the problem ... kind of a weird thing has been happening lately with Site Manager.  When I click on the feed of a collection to interact with the actual content (change the order, correct a typo etc.) and then click to return to collections manager, the site logs me out.  When I log back in, it won't let me go back into the collection and gives an error message saying that the collection is unavailable because someone is already logged in to it.  When I wait an hour or so, I can access the collection feed again but once I return to collections manager, I get logged out.  I have tried this on different versions of Safari and in Lion with the same results.  It is just in the last couple of weeks that this has been happening.  Any ideas?

    You are welcome, WonderProfessor.
    Updating iTunes may not be the reason at all. It could very well be the Support Team has fixed the problem, which i think is the case.
    Also, I learned i should report EACH problem to iTunes U Support Team using its Report Form:
    https://ssl.apple.com/support/itunes-u/public-site-manager/contact.html
    I used the Report Form a couple of months ago to report a different problem. One tech support person responsded and I have been emailing to that individual via email about a few more issues since then. This, however, is NOT a good practice. Reporting each problem using the report form will help the iTunes Support Team to prioritize the work based on urgency. 
    Anyway, I am releaved it is working now. Thank you. And thanks to the iTunes U Support Team and iTunes U Editors.

  • My iPhone keeps logging me out of iCloud, how can this be fixed?

    My iPhone logs me out of my iCloud account randomly, and more recently over and over after signing back in each time the prompt appears.  This is frustrating.  It seems as if my phone forgets the password.

    1. try to sign in once on iTunes
    2. try to get a new password for your apple id
    3. try to restore your iPhone using iTunes

    Hello,
    SQL Server database log files benefit from RAID 1 and RAID 10 configurations. RAID 10 is recommended for both data files and log files.
    To control de grow of transaction log files, please backup them regularly. The following article may explain you in detail why:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175495.aspx
    Monitor the growth of log files using Performance Monitor and the SQLServer:Databases --> Log Growths counter. Adjust the size of log files until Log Growths
    is constantly zero.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to calculate storage space for archive log files and database backups?

    Hi all,
    I have a 1.8 terabyte Oracle 9i database and need to plan for how much additional disk space I will need to perform nightly backups and for archivelog files. Is there a script or formula available that can help me estimate how much required disk space I will need to hold a days worth of archived logs as well as a nightly export dump file and a full hot RMAN backup on disk?
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure how to estimate the size of your backups, especially if you use incrementals. However, the space required for archive logs will be equal to the amount of REDO your DB generates. I would count the number of log switches per day with a query like the following:
    select trunc(first_time), count(*)
    from v$log_history
    group by trunc(first_time)
    I would then take the average and multiply this count by the size of your redo log files (assuming they are all the same size).

    can this happened due to data base or log file corruption, if so how can i check on that to verify the issue
    Its not necessary if the issue is with network it would happen every day IMO it basically happens when load on network is high and you transfer log file which is big in size.
    As per message database engine was not able to restore log backup and said that you must rebuild log because it did not find out log to be consistent. From here it seems log corruption.
    Is it the same log file you restored ? if that is the case since log file was corrupt it would ofcourse give error on wehatever server you restore.
    Can you try creating logshipping on new server by taking fresh full and log backup and see if you get issue there as well. I would also say you to raise case with Microsoft and let them tell what is root cause to this problem

  • Removing archived log files

    Hello all,
    Using Oracle 10g R2 ( 10.2.4.0) under UNIX Sun Solaris 10 , I have two rman backup types
    1-L0 backup
    2-L1 Backup ( Incremental cummulative)
    Facts:
    -Due to space pressure on archived log destination I'm trying to get less archived files possible under the archived log fs thus at any given time the archived log files destination contains archived log files aged no more than 22hours.
    * The backup runs each day at 4PM and there is custom script that remove and compressed archived log files ( out of backup jobs windows) from midnight until 3:45PM
    * From the above removal schedule task L0 or L1 backup will always have 24 hours worth of archived log files available during the backup.
    -The Backup files Windows retention period is 22 hours meaning that each backup type L0 or L1 removes previous backup files aged more than 22hours.
    -Tracking file is enabled
    Target:
    Knowing that our backup retention windows is 22hours.
    Our next goal is to get less than 2 hours from 24 hours of archived log files available when L0 or L1 backup.
    Would this affect L1 backup? and how?
    Thank in advance for your response

    AlexI'm not sure what you are talking about with Backup files Windows retention period ... 22 hours".
    I don't know what you mean by "Our next goal is to get less than 2 hours from 24 hours of archived log files available when L0 or L1 backup."
    If you are not taking your database backups with rman you are on shaky ground. The principles are simple. To recover your database from a failure, you will need to start with an L0 backup. The rman RESTORE command will then restore individual blocks from any applicable and available L1 backups. You would follow that with a RECOVER command, that would attempt to apply all necessary redo from available archivelogs. If the necessary archivelogs have been deleted, rman will attempt to restore them from a backup. You can use rman to backup AND DELETE archivelog files to keep the archivelog destination cleaned out.
    I take an L0 backup once a week, an L1 the other 6 days, and archivelogs twice a day. The only time I've had a problem with the archivelog dest filling up is when some buggy code that has a loop goes into production and starts flooding redo.
    Exactly how are you taking your database backups? If you are not using rman, then you are already on shaky ground.

  • When using wusa.exe to install MSU update package and enabling logging using the /log switch, what format are the log files in?

    I have been installing a number of hotfixes for Windows 7 using MSU files and the wusa.exe utility included in Windows. I thought it would be a good idea to generate separate log files for each update as it was installed since wusa.exe now supports this
    option using /log:<file name>. However, the log files created do not seem to be regular text files or any other log file format that I immediately recognize. When opened in Notepad or Wordpad you can see that they contain a lot of additional binary data
    which can't be read by a regular text viewer.
    Does anyone know what format these log files are in? What tool should you use to read them?

    Only Microsoft can manage to design something as stupid as this. If you start wusa from the command line, it pops up the alternative command line switches. For log, it just says: " /log     - installer will enable logging". It doesn't say that you
    should specify the log file name, hence not HOW you specify it (" /log:<path\filename>.") It doesn't say what extension to use for the file, alas which file type it is (" /log:<path\filename.evtx>."). You open it in notepad, you cannot read it.
    You open it in sccm's cmtrace.exe/trace32.exe, you get nothing. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT THIS IN A WORSE WAY. How can something be so bad? How can Microsoft get such stupidity inhouse, when you need to go through six interviews or something to get in??
    I cannot believe it - unfortunely, this is seen again and again. 

  • SQL log file size is extending rapidly

    Hello All,
    We are using ECC 6.0, our database is SQL 2005 & operating system is Windows NT 4x AMD64 L.
    Our database log file size is increasing rapidly, now its size is more than the all 4 data files (near about 300gb).
    Last week I tried to shrink log file but it didn't worked.
    Now less space is remained on disk, please help me.
    Now the system is started giving dump at the time of log in, & the dump is like "START_CALL_SICK ".
    I am attaching dump error text file.
    Please help why is this happening.
    Thanks in advance
    Mahendra

    Hi,
    I have backed up log file & shrink the file but it didn't worked for me
    What is the result? It shrinks the log and release all the space (for all committed transactions).
    How can i add another log file?
    Can i delete old log file after adding new log file.
    You can add another log file by following below steps. but in your case, this is not the right solution because you have good amount of log file configuration for your database (now its size is more than the all 4 data files (near about 300gb)).
    Open SQL server management studio > Expand database > Right click on database > Select Files > Click on Add > Give the input parameters (Logical file name, path, initial size etc.) click on OK
    If system is not allowing you to shrink the log file, it means you have active transactions in system which are continuously using your log file.
    Regards,
    Nick Loy

  • Help fixing a huge windowserver_last.log file

    While using Omni Disk Sweeper, I discovered that my windowserver_last.log file is in excess of 8GB in size. I'm not very unix command savvy, but I am trying to reclaim the space without wiping something important. I'm unable to open the file using console because it crashes every time it opens that log. I have looked at the console and it has an error code that posted 25 times in less than a second. I've copied the error code below.
    2006-08-27 17:20:46.890 SyndicationAgent[1821] WARNING: BestCalendarDateFromString - can't interpret: 'Sun 27 Aug 2006 12:26:55 -800'
    From this, I have posted the last 8 lines of code from the console as well. I have seen that thisw problem was encountered by someone before, but I don't know how to fix it without probably breaking my PB. If anyone can give me some guidance on how to fix it, or let me know if this is normal, thanks.

    For some reason I'm getting the hot keys enabled and disabled, but I don't know what hot key for which program. Any clues or just give up and delete the _last.log file once a month?
