Server Administration › Setting the CSE LogLevel › LimitEachLog

LimitEachLog

Log file limits can be set with the LimitEachLog field. A number from one (1) to N can be specified, or the word UNLIMITED can be specified. UNLIMITED allows the first log file created to grow to the capacity of the disk.

A numeric entry indicates the number of kilobytes to retain in the log file. Once the limit is reached, logging switches (rolls over) to the next log file. Log files continue to roll over, giving you the ability to calculate the maximum disk space that will ever be used, regardless of how much you use the CSE or how long it stays running.

For example, the following defines your log files in your <iefmd>.ini file:

LogLocation = "<your-string>"
NbrLogFiles = 1
LimitEachLog = 5
LogLevel = STANDARD

This illustration will continue to use a single log file, but will grow to a maximum of 5 kilobytes. It will then close and reopen the log file and continue logging.
