Regarding internal daemon log rotation...

I found a problem with internal daemon log rotation in iplanet webserver.it is not happening properly..........how to troble shoot this issue?

Web Server 6.0 is EOSLed. Please move to the newer Web Servers 6.1 or 7.0. Check [http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Web%20%26%20Proxy%20Servers&tab=3&subcat=Web%20Servers|http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Web%20%26%20Proxy%20Servers&tab=3&subcat=Web%20Servers]. If you still have problems in these(6.1 or 7.0) versions of Web Server let us know.

LMS3.2 Log rotation problem

Hi,
we use LMS3.2 (windows single-server) for ~4500 devices and have a problem with log rotation.
That's our configured log roation:
Name with location
Size (kb)
Format
No.of Backups
1.
D:\CSCOpx\log\dcrclient.log
102400
gz
3
2.
D:\CSCOpx\log\ICServer.log
102400
gz
3
3.
D:\CSCOpx\log\syslog.log
1024000
gz
5
The backup directory is the same as the usual log directory. The size of the 3 files is already bigger than the configured size in log roation, see:
dcrclient.log     2,1 GB
ICServer.log     1,1 GB
syslog.log        9,7 GB
After the log roation configuration we restarted the daemon manager, but it's not working. There are no backup files created and the 3 files are still growing.
Regards
Hendrik

After you configure the log rotation you need and restart the daemons, you need to schedule the job. The schedule buttong is available under
Common Services -> Server -> Admin -> Log Rotation.

Log Rotation on iPlanet 6.0 SP6

Hello,
I am running iPlanet 6.0 SP 6 on a Windows 2000 server and am having an issue with the access logs rotating. I have them set to rotate at 12:00 am using the Internal Daemon. The logs will rotate and begin to write to a new access file, however, there is no data in the log file. All that is showing up is the first line and the size of the log file is 1 KB. If anyone else has had this problem, please let me know. Thanks

I believe this may happen when a program, such as ntpdate, changes this system clock by more than a few seconds. The problem has been seen when the system clock is particularly slow and the clock is synchronized by a nightly cron job. Under such circumstances, the access log file may be rotated twice, the second rotation overwriting the first. Bug 6206179 has been filed to track this problem.
A work around is to modify the flex-rotate-init line in your magnus.conf configuration file so that it reads as follows:Init fn="flex-rotate-init"
     rotate-start="..."
     rotate-interval="..."
     rotate-suffix=".%Y%m%d%H%M.tmp"
     rotate-callback="/home/webservd/postrotate"Where /home/webservd/postrotate is an executable script that contains the following:#!/usr/bin/ksh
tmpfile=$1
logfile=${tmpfile%.tmp}          # removes .tmp part
if [[ -s $logfile ]];            # if logfile exists and not empty
then
    cat $tmpfile >>$logfile      # append the content of tmpfile to the logfile
    rm $tmpfile
else
    mv $tmpfile $logfile
fiThis will keep the server from overwriting access log entries if it tries to rotate the access log file twice.

LMS - log rotation based on time period

Dear All
can we configure log rotation to be based on time period (ex:past one year)instead of log file size.
if it is feasable please advise who to do it?
Regards;
Antonio

I am not sure if I understand it correct, but you can do this easily by defining the expected file size of the log file to rotate;
logrot runs on a scheduled basis and checks if the log file has reached the defined file size - if not it will do nothing else the file will be backed up. The key point is the configured file size;
I use this for the syslog file to have a backup for each month:
schedule logrot to run every first of each month and set the file size to a low value guarantes that I ve got a file for every month;
from the online help of logrot:
http://:1741/help/cmf/index.html?sysad_adm_logrotate.html
4. Specify the number of archive revisions. If you do not want to keep any archives, enter 0 (the default) for this option.
5. Specify the maximum file size. The log will not be rotated until this size is reached. The unit is in kilobytes (KB). The default is 1024 KB or 1 MB.
why do you want to keep all log messages of a complete year in one file - what do you want to do?

Cannot schedule log rotation from LMS32 GUI

All,
I've been experimenting with the log rotation feature from LMS 3.2 UI (CS > Server > Admin > LogRotation) and have noticed when I try to schedule the logrotation with any backup directory (/var/adm/CSCOpx/log for example) it indicates that I cannot schedule it for that directory structure. I even tried /tmp which is wide open for writing from any account but it still errors out.
I am familiar with the logrot.pl -c from the CLI but I need to try this first from the UI. Has anyone run into this before or know if this is a product issue or a mis-configuration on my part?
Regards,
Michael

Exactly what error are you getting when you try and schedule the rotation? You should be able to use both /var/adm/CSCOpx/log and /tmp.

LMS3.2.1 - should my custom log rotation settings override log4j properties?

For LMS 3.2.1 on Windows, I have configured log rotation settings for dcmaservice.log but the settings are ineffective, even after stop/start CW daemon manager. Other posts on this forum state that dcmaservice.log rotation is managed by log4j but can also be configured in logrot. Is this incorrect or have I encountered a bug in logrot?

Gaganjeet,
I'd like definitive answers to the following questions before continuing down this path.
1) does log4j subsystem manage dcmaservice.log?
2) if so, is there a log4j properties file for dcmaservice which can be edited to change log file size and number of versions to keep (eg. see the forum entry https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/664225#664225 re license.log)?
3) can Common Services user-configurable log rotation override the parameters for logs managed by log4j subsystem?
Thanks.

LMS3.2 log rotation (syslog_info)

Hi,
What should I do to get my syslog_info file rotated whenver the file grows to 512 megabytes in size? I've set up the log rotation in Common Services->Server->Admin but it doesn't seem to work, the file grew to 1.9 gigabytes.
Is there any process that should be running that monitors the logrotation?
Greets,
Tomek

Restarting dmgtd is not an option and most probably it would not work for that case.
I would like to see if any overgrown log file will rotate. For example - I set max log file size to 512 megabytes. And I expect that LMS will somehow monitor the size of the file (for example with an entry in crontab, or by a specified daemon) and rotate it whenver the log file exceeds previously set size.
That doesn't work that way. The file grows and exceeds set size. Only manual triggering of rotation process works as expected.
Is that a bug?

Time-based log rotation in Access Manager

Hi,
We have configured Access Manager for size-based log rotation. So the log files undergo rotation whenever the log files reach the size limit specified.
But I would like to know if the Access Manager Logging module provides options for:
Time-based Log Rotation : so that log files get rotated on a periodic basis.
Log File Name Customization: At present the old log files get suffixed with -n (e.g. amPolicy.access-1), where 'n' denotes the number in the rotation sequence . Is it possible to configure Access Manager to generate a timestamp as a suffix for old log files.
e.g. amPolicy.access-05_29_2005.
Regards,
Chetan Desai

The AM admin guide (ftp://docs-pdf.sun.com/817-7647/817-7647.pdf) page 335 has listed all available Logging attribute. It doesn't have the time based parameter and time stamp suffix. If you wish to have those features, please contact Sun Identity sales for filing a RFE. Also checking Logging API and see whether you can program yourself to achieve those features.

Renaming/log rotation of opmn default island application logs

Hi, I wonder if someone has already figured this out.
We are running 10.1.2 OAS and we would like to control the rotation of our instance applicaiton logs. Currently in $J2EE_HOME/opmn/logs we have files named "OC4J~<container name>~default_island~1" and we have to stop the OC4J container to control these. Placement and naming would be nice, but rotation is the most important.
Is there any way of adding something to opmn.conf to do this? Perhaps like the log-file tag that is used by the ipm.log e.g
<log-file path="$ORACLE_HOME\opmn\logs\ons.log" level="6" rotation-size="10000" rotation-hour="00"/>?
Regards, Aidan

for OPMN logs you can add this to the log part
<log-file path="/u09/app/oracle/product/ias903/opmn/logs/ipm.log" level="3" rotation-size="1024"/>
when it get 1024 kbits it will rotate.
THis apply for 902 and 904 OAS
Im not sure this work for 10.x.x
And I dont know a way to delete this files, but for sure you can create a script with cron who deletes the oldest ones.
Hope this Helps.
Regards

Access and Error Log Rotation

When turning on Archive for the logs. cron style. The log gets archived with the date etc, but the new files access and error do not get created. I have ns-cron on and the rotation occurs, but the files name only changes and it never create the new files and only keeps changing the file names with the new name.

You may be running into Problem 4684892 mentioned in the release notes:
http://docs.sun.com/source/817-5170-10/rn60sp7.html
The Administration Server and the cron daemon must be run as root for cron-based log rotation to function properly. You may have to modify your cron.conf user to run as root.

Apache log rotation

From the documentation here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/adobemediaserver/configadmin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2926 0bd-7ffa.2.3.html is is stated that " Adobe Media Server handles log rotation for the Apache logs." However, it appears not to be the case.
My logs in /opt/adobe/ams/Apache/logs are not rotating.
Can you help with this? Does AMS handle this or will I need to manually logrotate?
Regards,
A

So this isn't working?:
1. "One option is to rotate log files, moving or deleting the oldest files."
I usually rename the old log files whenever/before the server needs to be restarted and that forces the server to generate new log files.
2. "Use the rotation element in the Logger.xml file to specify a rotation schedule for log files. Two types of rotation schedules can be established. The first option is to set a daily rotation at a certain time. For example, setting daily at 00:00 rotates files every 24 hours at midnight. Alternatively, set a rotation that occurs when the log exceeds a specified length. Name, maximum file size in kilobytes, and maximum number of log files to keep can also be customized using the
rotation element. For an example, see the Logger.xml file installed in the /conf directory."
Did you modify the Logger.xml file to change the log rotation time? Save a copy of the original file before you modify it.
3. You can also try to use a third party module (this might/might not work for you depending on your system specs): http://www.sitebuddy.com/mod_log_rotate
mod_log_rotate.so seems pretty simple to set-up and implement.

Dev_webdisp_watchdog file maximum - enable log rotation

Hi all,
we are using web dispatcher 7.2, we start our dispatcher with the below command.
./sapwebdisp pf=/sapmnt/WPQ/profile/WPQ_W01_biddeford -auto_restart -f dev_webdisp &
we can see two process started one watchdog and one main process.
parallelly two log files are created dev_webdisp_watchdog & dev_webdisp.
When the dev_webdisp_watchdog reaches its maximum limit, it creates a new file dev_webdisp.old (instead of dev_webdisp_watchdog.old) and writes logs to that dev_webdisp.old file.
Also when dev_webdisp.old reaches its maximum limit, the log file stops.
We want to enable log rotation, can some one help so that the log files rotates?
Also the watch dog should writes logs to dev_webdisp_watchdog.old instead of dev_webdisp.old, not sure why its happening?
is it a bug?
Regards
Senthil

Hi,
the trace dev_webdisp_watchdog is created if you start the web dispatcher with the
-auto_restart option for the high availability
Regaring the trace rotate, take a look if you are using options like
rdisp/TRACE_LOGGING and rdisp/TRACE_PATTERN_0. See note 112.
Cheers,
Clébio

OPMN Log rotation 10.1.2

How to rotate the OPMN logs in the 10.1.2 environment
Here is my environment
Oracle Application Server: 10.1.2
Sun Soalris 10
Infrastructure has the following
%ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs
dcm-daemon~dcm-daemon~dcm~1
HTTP_Server~1
ipm.log
OC4J~OC4J_SECURITY~default_island~1
OID
OID~1
OIDCTL.log
ons.log
opmn.log
Any document which gives step by step implementation of log rotation by size and time
Is ODL is supported for OPMN log rotation? if then how to do it ?

The document looking like to rotate the ons.log ipm.log using the configuration change in the opmn.xml file as the
<log-file path="path" level="level" rotation-size="kBytes" rotation-hour="HOD"/>
Here are my questions
1. How can give the rotation-hour (is it timestamp value like 200808020830 yeardaymonthhoursminutes )
2. Is it going to change the file name like ons200808020830.log ipm200808020830.log , if yes a) ons.log ipm.log files will exist inclusing the above files or not
3. what about the other log files rotation in the opmn/log directory like (in my previous posting)
dcm-daemon~dcm-daemon~dcm~1
HTTP_Server~1
ipm.log
OC4J~OC4J_SECURITY~default_island~1
OID~1
OIDCTL.log
Could you please answer my questions and also give me some sugestion to implement OPMN log rotation.

Extended format of access.log and log rotation

I am using WebLogic Server 6.1sp1. I want to use extended format of web
server access log. I also want to use log rotation based on date. But it
seems not to work together. After my investigation I can say:
- access.log in common format can be rotated based on date an on size,
- access.log in extended format (either in its default form or
completely redefined) cannot be rotated neither based on date nor size.
In the second case at first time WebLogic tries to rotate logfile
IOException is thrown with a message like "java.io.IOException: Failed
to rename log file on attempt to rotate logs". Than it throws
IOException with a message "Exception flushing HTTP log file. (Bad file
descriptor)." when it tries to flush content of logfile to the disk.
After that WebLogic server stops to write to access.log.
Is it possible to rotate access.log in extended format?
Thanks,

Agent log rotation

Agent - Sunone Agent 2.1
Webserver - IIS
Policy Server - IS 6.0 SP1.
How do you get the agent log to rotate on size/time? Is there a parameter?
Currently we have to manually delete it.

Log rotation feature available in 2.2 web agents. You need to find other ways to do it.
