VCX software writes data to various log files and call information to Call
Detail Records (CDRs) and, optionally, Quality of Service Detail Records
(QDRs). IP Messaging software also writes call information to CDRs. As
part of your routine VCX server maintenance schedule, you should
examine the directories containing these files and purge older files to
maintain sufficient disk space.
You should monitor the following applications and services:
Tomcat and IP Messaging log files
■
Accounting service for CDR and QDR collection
■
Files in the tomcat directory (/opt/3com/VCX/tomcat/logs/) you should
monitor include:
catalina.out files, for example, catalina.2006-07-10.log
■
localhost_access_log files, for example,
■
localhost_access_log.2006-08-08.txt
There is currently no mechanism in place to roll over these files or limit file
size. You can either move the older versions of these files to another
server for storage or delete them.
You should closely monitor the following IP Messaging log file:
ums_cbipi.log located in the /usr/app/cbipi/ directory
■
This file grows indefinitely and, if it reaches the operating system limit,
can prevent IP Messaging from taking calls. Growth rate depends on
the call load on the system. Restarting IP Messaging does not reset the
file—you must either move ums_cbipi.log to another server for
storage or delete the file.
