Roll Over the Log File

Rollover determines whether the SiteMinder Agent starts a new log file after a specified period or after the log file reaches a specified size. Roll over the SiteMinder Agent log file by using time or size, and making the appropriate changes in the Agent Configuration Object from the SiteMinder Administrative UI.

To enable rollover and specify rollover limits, add the following parameters to the Agent Configuration Object:

logrollover = "YES" or "NO"

logrolloversize = size_in_KB

where size_in_KB is the number of kilobytes you want the file to be before rollover occurs. Rollover does not take effect unless the parameter LOGROLLOVER is set to a "YES" value.

logrollovertime = rollover_hours

where rollover_hours variable is the number of hours until rollover occurs. For example, 1 is every hour; 12 is every 12 hours; 168 is every week; and 720 is every month. Rollover does not take effect unless the parameter LOGROLLOVER is set to YES.

Note: Use either logrolloversize or logrollovertime. If you use both, rollover by size takes precedence.
