How to Maintain Log Files

CA Service Catalog includes nearly approximately 50 log files, each of which is helpful for researching a specific component, function, or question. To maintain log files, do the following:

1. Review the names and locations of all log files.
2. Review the descriptions of the most frequently used log files.
3. Become familiar with the process of setting log levels.
4. Review the process of configuring rollover settings for selected log files.
5. To keep older rolled over log files from consuming excessive disk space, delete them manually at regular intervals.

   Verify that you comply with the file retention policy of your organization. By default, certain log files are automatically rolled over and are automatically deleted periodically. Both processes occur according to your specifications when you configure rollover settings for selected log files. However, no other rolled over log files are automatically deleted; therefore, delete them manually.
