Chapter 2. Core Server Configuration Reference
maxlogsperdir attribute value to 1 or set the nsslapd-auditlog-logrotationtime attribute to
-1. The server checks the nsslapd-auditlog-maxlogsperdir attribute first, and, if this attribute
value is larger than 1, the server then checks the nsslapd-auditlog-logrotationtime attribute.

Example
2.3.1.32. nsslapd-auditlog-maxlogsize (Audit Log Maximum Log Size)
This attribute sets the maximum audit log size in megabytes. When this value is reached, the audit
log is rotated. That means the server starts writing log information to a new log file. If nsslapd-
auditlog-maxlogsperdir to 1, the server ignores this attribute.
When setting a maximum log size, 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 to the total amount of disk space for the audit log.
