Logging
The following table illustrates the variables that can be
modified, as required, to choose logging levels for each site.
VolServ must be cycled for the changes to become effective.
Variable Name Default Description
NUM_LOG_DAYS 3 The maximum number of days of log files that
are saved by the movelog.sh script.
LOG_BACKUP_TIME 6 The number of hours between log backup
attempts.
VS_LOG_SIZE 5120 The size, in kilobytes, above which the VolServ
log files are saved and truncated by the
movelog.sh script.
SYSLOG_DISK_LEVEL 7 Two purposes:
All messages between this level and zero are
automatically routed to the file vslogfile. All
messages that are not routed elsewhere are
sent to this file. Used to catch messages that
are generated before routing has been
established. This is the first filter of messages,
it overrides the settings in console.config.
No messages with a greater level value are
able to be routed elsewhere. Used as an upper
limit to reduce message traffic.
Upper limit for the level of syslog messages that are generated for each software function.
