preventing Large Webspeed Logfiles - what have I missed ?

[danishgambit]

Morning 'talkers,

OE 10.2A on redhat.

we had an issue over the weekend whereby the database server ran out of disk space on the partition where we keep the webspeed log files. The webspeed server logfile had reached 52Gb and blew the partition.

Given that I'd previously setup the following properties in the ubroker.properties file:

srvrLogFile=<database>.server.log
srvrLogThreshold=1073741824
srvrNumLogFiles=5
srvrLogAppend=0

Shouldn't the above properties limit logging to 5Gb and reuse the 5 files. Maybe I've misunderstood and the 5 files aren't reused or maybe I'm missing additional properties.
Any ideas ?

TIA,

DG.

Your settings should create new log files everytime the broker or server is restarted, if it hasn't been restarted it will continue to grow. When the log threshold is reached it should switch to the next logfile and you can delete the previous log files. See prokb entry P14643.
