Server Log Rollover Settings

Configure how frequently the logging and tracing files rollover by modifying the rollover settings.

Note: Any changes to the log rollover settings apply to the smps.log file and smtracedefault.log file.

To modify the runtime log rollover settings

1. Open a command window.
2. Type XPSConfig.

   Type the command as it is shown here. The command is case-sensitive.

   The Products Menu displays.

3. Enter SM.

   The Parameters Menu displays.

4. Enter the number associated with the parameter you want to modify.

   The rollover parameters are as follows:

   LogFilesToKeep

   Represents the number of Policy Server error logs to keep. Federation Manager deletes older files.

   LogRolloverDays

   Indicates if a rollover occurs on a daily basis.

   0 = off

   1 = every day

   2 = every two days

   Enter the number that corresponds to the number of days that pass before a rollover occurs.

   LogRolloverInterval

   Indicates if a rollover occurs on an hourly basis. If this value is set, LogRolloverDays is ignored.

   0 = off

   1 = every hour

   2 = every two hours

   Enter the number that corresponds to the number of hours that pass before a rollover occurs.

   LogRolloverOnStart (enabled by default)

   Indicates whether the log file is rolled over when the services are started.

   LogRolloverSize

   Indicates at what size Federation Manager rolls over the log file. If the system reaches the size limit before the next rollover interval, the log file still rolls over.

   0 = off

   1 = 1 MB

   2 = 2 MB

   Enter the number that corresponds to the size limit of the log before a rollover occurs.

   LogRolloverTime

   Indicates what time of day to perform the rollover. Federation Manager uses this setting with the LogRolloverDays parameter. Enter a value in the form "hour:minutes" using a 24 hour clock.

   Example: "22:00"

5. Enter c to change the parameter value and enter a new value.
6. Enter q to return to the Parameters Menu. If you are done modifying parameters, keep entering q until you exit XPSConfig.

   Changes made in XPSConfig are not recognized until you exit the XPSConfig tool. Where noted, some changes require that you restart Federation Manager services.
