StorMan Logging

StorMan uses its proprietary StorMan Logging facility in /var/opt/SMAWstor/StorMan/log/ for diagnostic purpose.

The setting of all logging parameters is done by WebUI or CLI storparam and is kept in the inititalization file smserver.ini.

Parameter MaxTraceFileSize 

StorMan supports a maximum file size in MB for logging files. 

The parameter TraceFileMaxAge defines the number of days that the log files are kept.
The default value when running is TraceFileSize = 100 (means 100 MB).

Example:

TraceFileSize = 100 means 100 days

The effect of the parameter:

• All log-files  are zipped if the specified file size is reached or latest at date change.

Parameter TraceFileMaxAge 

StorMan supports a maximal retention time for logging files. 

The parameter TraceFileMaxAge defines the number of days that the log files are kept.
The default value when running is TraceFileMaxAge = 90 (means 90 days).

Example:

TraceFileMaxAge = 7 means 7 days

The effect of the parameter:

• All log-files and zip-files with content older than the number of days specified by TraceFileMaxAge are removed (i.e. all files starting with stormanTrace*).
