HP OO log deletion

Hello Forum, Is there any settings available under central, which can be used to delete the old logs and memory dump files(centra/bin/)? OO version:10.10 Thanks, Trim

Hi Trim,

Thanks for your post! Are you referring to any specific log file?
In general, the majority of the logs like general.log, execution.log,wrapper.log etc. found under .\central\var\logs are managed from the log4j.properties file, which is found under .\central\conf.

Let me know if this helps!

Regards,
Mitko

Hello,

Thanks for the response.

Yes, i am referring to general,execution logs and also memory dump files.

How to delete the memory dump files?

Hi,

Could you please provide me with the filename/location of the memory dump files, that you would like to delete?

Thanks,

Mitko

Hi,

If you are referring to the memory dumps under Central/bin folder, please feel free to delete them manually.

I'd also suggest increasing the Java Heap size, as apparently the allocated memory is not enough, hence you can see some memory dumps created in this folder.

You can increase the Java Heap size from the central-wrapper.conf file found under Central/conf folder. 

For example:

# Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB)
wrapper.java.maxmemory=2048

Hello,

The only logs I see that are not being controlled are the localhost_access_log's.  Could you  please tell me about these files?  I don't see any way to control them in log4j.properties

Thanks,

Trim

Hi Trim,

The localhost_access_log's are handled by a 3rd party library in Tomcat, which seems to support only switching between monthly, daily or hourly logging, but it's not possible to manage the number of logs.
In order for us to fix this in the code, we need to replace the logging library. It turns out that the replacement cannot be done as part of a hotfix due to potential regressions and most likely will be handled in the next minor version.
