HP UX Identity Security Software manual Nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsize Maximum error log size

2.3.1.54 nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtimeunit (Error log rotation time unit)

This attribute sets the units for nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime(Error Log Rotation Time). If the unit is unknown by the server, then the log never expires.

Parameter	Description
Entry DN	cn=config
Valid Values	month week day hour minute
Default Value	week
Syntax	DirectoryString
Example	nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtimeunit: day

2.3.1.55 nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsize (Maximum error log size)

This attribute sets the maximum error log size in megabytes. When this value is reached, the error log is rotated, and the server starts writing log information to a new log file. If nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdiris set to 1, the server ignores this attribute.

When setting a maximum log size, consider the total number of log files that can be created due to log file rotation. Also, remember that there are three different log files (access log, audit log, and error log) maintained by the Directory Server, each of which consumes disk space. Compare these considerations to the total amount of disk space for the error log.

Parameter	Description
Entry DN	cn=config
Valid Range	-1 1 to the maximum 32-bit integer value (2147483647) where a value of -1 means the log
	file is unlimited in size.
Default Value	100
Syntax	Integer
Example	nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsize: 100

2.3.1.56 nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdir (Maximum number of error log files)

This attribute sets the total number of error logs that can be contained in the directory where the error log is stored. Each time the error log is rotated, a new log file is created. When the number of files contained in the error log directory exceeds the value stored on this attribute, then the oldest version of the log file is deleted. The default is 1 log. If this default is accepted, the server does not rotate the log, and it grows indefinitely.

If the value for this attribute is higher than 1, then check the nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtimeattribute to establish whether log rotation is specified. If the nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtimeattribute has a value of -1, then there is no log rotation. See “nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime (Error log rotation time)” for more information.

Parameter	Description
Entry DN	cn=config
Valid Range	1 to the maximum 32-bit integer value (2147483647)
Default Value	1
Syntax	Integer
Example	nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdir: 10
