Recovering log files

If for any reason the Traffic Server logging system cannot write to your log collation server, it creates orphan
log files on local disks, which you can collate manually into a large log file for the Traffic Server system.

To move information from the orphan files into your central log files:

1. Copy the orphan files to the logging directory on your log collation server. (Examine local disks for the
presence of any log files. These are the orphans.)
2. For each orphan file, type the following command at the command line:
logclean -m filename
This command collates records from the orphan file into your central log files.
3. Delete orphan log files from your local disks.
NOTE

Viewing logging statistics

Traffic Server generates the following statistics about the logging system that help you see:
How many log files (formats) are currently being written.
The current amount of space being used by the logging directory, which contains all of the event and error
logs.
The current number of events that have been written to log files. This counter represents one entry in one
file. If multiple formats are being written, a single event will create multiple event log entries.
The current number of events that have been written to the event error log.
The approximate rate at which log file entries are being created.
You can view the statistics on the Other page from the Monitor tab in Traffic Manager or retrieve them using
the Traffic Line command-line interface. Refer to
file contains the log collation secret and port you specified when configuring
is the configuration directory in which you copied the
Collated log file entries do not appear in strict chronological order; they appear in
the order received from the various nodes. Entries are time-stamped and you can sort
them by time stamp.
