Log Files Storage and Viewing

In the log information storage directory, '/Project/bin/log/' (located in both the active
and redundant, standby SC boards, log files are retained and overwritten according to
specific limitations. The oldest file (per item) is deleted automatically either upon disk
space concerns or upon reaching the maximum number of files per subject. The
crontab task "cleanlogs" deletes the log files according to the limitations in 10-minute
intervals.
The file names in the directory are:
'current' – the current opened log file
'@[serial number of the file]' – the older closed log file
The following Log file management options can be configured by Avaya technical
support only: ('Project/bin/Sysparams.ini', 'logger' section):
"num_of_files" - the number of log files to keep per subject (the default is 10)
"max_file_size" – the maximum size of each file (the default is 10 megabyte)
"disk_full_threshold" – the disk usage threshold for the "cleanlogs" task (the default
is 90%)
"redirect_stderr" – the redirect STDERR stream to the log file

Viewing Log Files

All of the Log files including both the current and the closed (old) files of each subject
can be seen or called upon using the standard Unix commands from the
'/Project/bin/log/' directory.
In addition, there are special aliases for viewing the current logs of each type (area):
log_trap – to view the current 'trap' logs. This area is the only point of cutomer's
interest.
log_core – to view the current core logs
