attribute value to 1 or set the nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime attribute to -1. T he server checks
the nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdir attribute first, and, if this attribute value is larger than 1, the
server then checks the nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime attribute. See
"nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdir (Maximum Number of Error Log Files)"

Example
2.3.1.55. nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtimeunit (Error Log Rotation T ime Unit)
T his attribute sets the units for nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime (Error Log Rotation T ime). If the
unit is unknown by the server, then the log never expires.

Example
2.3.1.56. nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsize (Maximum Error Log Size)
T his attribute sets the maximum error log size in megabytes. When this value is reached, the error log is
rotated, and the server starts writing log information to a new log file. If nsslapd-errorlog-
maxlogsperdir is set 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 error log.

Example
2.3.1.57. nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdir (Maximum Number of Error Log Files)
T his attribute sets the total number of error logs that can be contained in the directory where the error
log is stored. Each time the error log is rotated, a new log file is created. When the number of files
contained in the error log directory exceeds the value stored on this attribute, then the oldest version of
the log file is deleted. T he default is 1 log. If this default is accepted, the server does not rotate the log,
and it grows indefinitely.
If the value for this attribute is higher than 1, then check the nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime
attribute to establish whether log rotation is specified. If the nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime
attribute has a value of -1, then there is no log rotation. See
logrotationtime (Error Log Rotation T ime)"
