server.log files grows to hundreds of megabyte

[Bernd Theobalt]

Hello,

I got a customer mail, that the server.log files in the directory "C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\jboss\server\ hpsim\log\" start to grow from ~1.4MB/day to ~600MB/day now. On the day prior the start of growing, I have updated the HP-SIM from V5.2 to V5.2.2, have updated the system properties, have updated the RSP and several other things. Now the customer has rebooted the HP-SIM server and the daily log file is now ~1.5MB/day again.
Do someone knows the reason?

An other customer told me, that the following directory holds hundreds of 1-2KB small log files: "C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\output". The problem was, that each file occupies a cluster on the HDD and that results of gigabytes of space used on the HDD which runs to 0GB left on drive C.
Any idea what these log files are usefull?

Is there a configurable mechanism inside of HP-SIM to prevent the writing of millions of log files (deletion after 2 weeks)?

Best regards

Bernd

the files in C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\output

are stdout and stderr from tasks that SIM has run and there will be many of those.

You can delete those if you don't need the task outputs.
