Chapter 2. Core Server Configuration Reference
When setting a maximum disk space, consider the total number of log files that can be created due
to log file rotation. Also remember that there are three different log files (access log, audit log, and
error log) maintained by the Directory Server, each of which consumes disk space. Compare these
considerations with the total amount of disk space for the audit log.

Example
2.3.1.26. nsslapd-auditlog-logminfreediskspace (Audit Log Minimum Free
Disk Space)
This attribute sets the minimum permissible free disk space in megabytes. When the amount of free
disk space falls below the value specified by this attribute, the oldest audit logs are deleted until
enough disk space is freed to satisfy this attribute.

Syntax
Example
2.3.1.27. nsslapd-auditlog-logrotationsync-enabled (Audit Log Rotation
Sync Enabled)
This attribute sets whether audit log rotation is to be synchronized with a particular time of the day.
Synchronizing log rotation this way can generate log files at a specified time during a day, such as
midnight to midnight every day. This makes analysis of the log files much easier because they then
map directly to the calendar.
For audit log rotation to be synchronized with time-of-day, this attribute must be enabled with the
nsslapd-auditlog-logrotationsynchour and nsslapd-auditlog-logrotationsyncmin
attribute values set to the hour and minute of the day for rotating log files.
For example, to rotate audit log files every day at midnight, enable this attribute by setting its value to
on, and then set the values of the nsslapd-auditlog-logrotationsynchour and nsslapd-
auditlog-logrotationsyncmin attributes to 0.
