VMX20 - Limit virtual machine log file size and number

Hi all,
Here is parameter file
log.rotateSize=1000000
log.keepOld=10
that I have apply on virtual machine VMX. After I run the compliance checker again and it still showing fail.
I also have try restart the virtual machine machine few time but the log file keep increase.
For my understanding if we apply this parameter setting once the virtual machine log file over 1,000kb or 10 log file the new log file will replace the old one, correct me if Ii wrong.
Here is my question
1. Did the parameter file have restrict on any version of VMware?
2. If the log file less than 1,000kb and it already have 10 log file, so the new log file will still replace the old log file?
Thk.
Best regards.

Hi a_nut_in,
The problem have been solved in VMware vsphere version 5 with compliance checker for vsphere 5.0.
But under VMware vsphere version 4 I have found out the parameter is ok and workable but the results is still showing fail, will this is software bug?
Thk.
Best regards.

Log file size on ACS 5.3

Hi,
how do i set limit on the log file size in ACS 5.3. I had the same issue with Nexus 1000v but there is a command that enables you to set log file nane and size. it is getting bulky. any advice?
thanks
Kerim

Hi,
Here is the explanation of this function:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/user/guide/admin_config.html#wpxref88023
Here is some information about the file system that this is deleted from:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/user/guide/logging.html#wp1052656
So if the file that you are looking at is active (probably is if you see logs from yesterday and today, it will not be deleted).
Hope this helps,

Logging software - shrinking file size and keeping timecode

I recently found and downloaded the trial version of InqScribe Transcription Software (http://www.inqscribe.com/index.html).
It seems pretty neat. You can open up and video file in the program and it read the timecode from the file and inserts it into transcript as your typing. It says it can open ANY type of video that Quicktime can view.
Here's my dilemma - I want my clients and producer to use this program to log footage on their PCs out and about. I"m shooting with the Sony NX5 and transcoding to Pro Res LT. Obviously these files are HUGE.
I'd like to find a way that I can shrink the file sizes and keep the original timecode. I thought h.264 would be best. I can also shrink the resolution from 1920x1080 down to something much smaller.
I'm looking for an end product that is compatible with PCs and Macs, around 500mbs or less, and has the original TC.

Resize to 480x270. The data rate before compression will be 1/16 of the 1920x 1080 image. Add H.264 Quicktime compression and you'll have a small file. Verify with the company that it can read h.264 files.
When you do the conversion use Compressor and turn off Frame Controls when you do the resizing.The encoding will go much faster.

Apache ssl logs file size causing pblm

In our environment ssl logs(ssl request & ssl engine logs) has grown to more than 2 GB in size bringing HTTP server to DOWN state and we were not able to bring up the HTTP Server withour removing the ssl logs. Is there any mechanism to truncate this log size file growth when it reaches above the limit and what is the threshold limit of this log file
Regards,
Vinilkumar

Modify the SSL virtual host via the em website to use something like:
|/opt/oracle/product/10gas_r2/Apache/Apache/bin/rotatelogs /opt/oracle/product/10gas_r2/Apache/Apache/logs/ssl_request_log 86400
This will rotate every 24 hours.

MessageBox log file size

Hi,
In our prod environment, the MessageBox data file is withing the recommended limits - 2GB, but the log file is 32GB. Is this a reason to worry, or it is normal? I couldn't find any recommendations on this.
Thank you very much!

This is not normal.
IMO your BizTalk database Jobs are not running , Make sure your BizTalk SQL servers jobs have been enabled and SQL server agent is running.
Please have a look of
How to Configure the Backup BizTalk Server Job article to enable the jobs.
The BizTalk backup job is responsible for keeping the log file size in the limit.
you can try shrinking the log file using following SQL command
USE BiztalkMsgBoxDb;
GO
-- Truncate the log by changing the database recovery model to SIMPLE.
ALTER DATABASE BiztalkMsgBoxDb
SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
GO
-- Shrink the truncated log file to 1 MB.
DBCC SHRINKFILE (BiztalkMsgBoxDb_Log, 2);
GO
I would recommend you to have a read of following articles
BizTalk Environment Maintenance from a DBA perspective
BizTalk Databases: Survival Guide
hope this helps.

Failing to assemble Downloaded Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g

Hello,
I checked the download checksum of the files downloaded for Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g ( Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g ) and they all match checksums.
however, when I try to assemble them with 7zip, I get a corrupt error message. I have tried downloading with Chrome and Internet Explorer. I have also tried assembling the 7zip files different ways.
Is there anything else I should try?
Running on Windows 7, 64 bit machine. (with lots of disk space).
Is there any other way to get the files?
thank you.

thanks for the response
I guess I will have to do that as well.
However, it defeats the speed with which can ramp up with the toolset; thus slowing my time I can allocate to learning it...

SQL LOG FILE SIZE INCREASING

Hi DBA's
SQL Log file size occupies more disk space on the server, the overall database size is 8GB
How to decrease the SQL LDF file size on the server, please explain the suitable steps to perform
Thanks
DBA

use master
go
dump transaction <YourDBName>
with no_log
go
use <YourDBName>
go
DBCC SHRINKFILE (<YourDBNameLogFileName>,
100) -- where 100 is the size you may want to shrink it to in MB, change it to your needs
go
-- then you can call to check that all went fine
dbcc checkdb(<YourDBName>)
Andy ,
what point in asking user to use No_log and you did not even motioned about what this eveil command will do. Actually its
seriously not required reason being initial size of log file set to 8 G.
Plus what is point in running checkdb ?
I don't agree to any part you pointed

Log file size

We have a DNS Server running on solaris 9, it's generating huge logs hence /var/adm/messages file size is vey big. Is there any way to create seperate log file for everyday or can I restrict the log file size for a single file.
Thank you

Hmmm,
For what type environment is this DNS server used for? How many domains/delegated domains are configured on the host?
I think by default BIND allows 1000 recursive lookup connections. (That is already plenty and if you have that amount of legitimate traffic you will have to add more DNS servers and configure the nodes accordingly)
Is the server listed as a Name Server for your domain and used externally for name resolution for your domain host entries, maybe the SOA?
nslookup (enter)
set type=ns (enter)
you_domain_mane (i.e. your_domain.com) (enter)Or
dig �q NS your_domain.com
If the affected server returns in the list it is NEVER EVER a good idea to allow recursive lookups.
My guess is that you are subject to denial of service, unless you host a fairly large environment with 1000s of hosts.
Change the recursive-cient connection back (you system cannot handle 5000 recursive lookups and your system utilization shows this.)
Then configure
�category queries { your_query_file; };� In your namd.conf
restart BIND
Use �rndc� to change the trace level to 1
Let it run for 2 -5 min and stop BIND entirely
Then run something like:
�cat your_query_file | cut -d'/' -f2 | sort | uniq �c | more� (depends on the log file format, better yet use nwak)
take a quick look to see if there is one IP that is hammering your system.

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.

Nick Loy

Log file size in Sun Directory Server

Does anyone have an idea about the how the Sun Directory Server's log file size will increase in size with respective to the actions performed?
Can someone give a data regarding this? If someone has a better scenario and the supportive data w.r.t log file size it will be helpful.
Thanks,

AFAIK No its based on time "At a certain time, or after a specified interval, the server rotates your access logs. "
More info in Archiving Log Files in [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7985/gczxv?l=en&a=vie]
It should be easy to write such a script to be run as a daemon in logs directory. Here is the pseudo code :
while [1]
do
get size of the access/error log file
If size of file > max_size
<ws-install-dir>/https-<instance>/bin/rotate
sleep for sometime
done

I would like to take the log files backup daily (for future reference).
I need to know the following:
1) What log files need to be backup? Do I need to take all am*.* files (It will be around 3.5 GB in size)?
2) Ideally, I believe that only few MB of data goes into these am*.* files but, I cannot store every day 3.5 + GB of logs
3) I observed that these files (am*.* have every days activity added to them), So I would like to enable the Log rotation
Please let me know how can I proceed.
Thanks

Changing log file sizes

is it possible to change je.properties : je.log.fileMax size and restart the db without having to dump and load it? i.e. is it okay to have different size log files in one environment?

Yes to all -- ok to change it and restart, ok to have
different size files.thanks a ton linda!
