Limit log file size

If there is concern about the log file size, the size of the log per ITP/Document Processor can be limited on the logging tab of the ITP/Server Administrator. The default setting is 10000 KB per ITP/Document Processor (10 files of 1000 KB each).

On this tab you can either choose to Keep all log files in which case the logging size is unlimited or you can choose to Rotate log files.

The Rotate log files has the following options:

• Maximum size of the log files
  With this setting you can limit the size of the log file per ITP/Document Processor. The default setting is 1000 KB.
• Keep the last ... log files
  With this setting you can configure the number of log files that will be kept. During start-up, ITP/Server will rotate its existing log files and create a new log file. Log files are also rotated if the maximum size of a log file is reached. Old files are named [[logfiles] [number]].log.

If you want to keep all log files but still limit the total size of all log files, you can choose a high number of files (e.g., 9999) in combination with a rather small log file size (e.g., 1000 KB). The total log size per ITP/Document Processor will then be limited to the number of files multiplied by the maximum log file size (about 10 GB per ITP/Document Processor in this example).
