How Prime Network Saves Log Files

Each Prime Network module writes a log file to its own folder within the NETWORKHOME/Main/logs folder. Log sizes are limited to 4 MB by default. When a log file reaches its maximum size, Prime Network does the following:

•Zips the log file and appends a number to the backup file.

•Starts a new log file.

In the following example, the oldest file is process.log.2.gz, and process.log is the current log file.

11:42 PM      4,481,607      process.out 
07:22 AM      5,120,447      process.out.1.gz 
03:17 AM      5,120,105      process.out.2.gz 

When process.log exceeds the maximum size, the following happens:

•The contents of process.out.2.gz are moved to process.log.3.gz.

•The contents of process.out.1.gz are moved to process.log.2.gz.

•The contents of process.out are moved to process.log.1.gz.

•A new log files is started (process.log).

Prime Network saves a maximum of 10 log files for each process. When the number of backups exceeds 10, the oldest file is deleted.

You can change the maximum log file size and the maximum number of backup log files by following the procedure in Change Log File Behavior.

For a complete list of log files, see Log Files.

Log Files and Server Restarts

Whenever the Prime Network server is restarted, all log files are moved to NETWORKHOME/Main/logs/old.

Prime Network saves a maximum of 3 "older" sets of log files in these directories:

NETWORKHOME/Main/logs/old
NETWORKHOME/Main/logs/older
NETWORKHOME/Main/logs/oldest

For example, if a newly-installed Prime Network gateway server has been restarted once, the following happens:

•The contents in NETWORKHOME/Main/logs are moved to NETWORKHOME/Main/logs/old.

•The latest log files are stored in NETWORKHOME/Main/logs.

If the gateway server is restarted a second time, the following happens:

•The contents in NETWORKHOME/Main/logs/older are moved to NETWORKHOME/Main/logs/oldest.

•The contents in NETWORKHOME/Main/logs/old are moved to NETWORKHOME/Main/logs/older.

•The latest log files are stored in NETWORKHOME/Main/logs.

For a complete list of log files, see Log Files.

Change Log File Behavior

Log file behavior is managed by the settings in NETWORKHOME/Main/scripts/log.pl. To change the number of log files that are saved, or to change the maximum log size, change the following settings in log.pl:

$LASTLOGINDEX = 10;             # max file index to backup. 
$MAXSIZE = 1024*1024*4;         # max file size - hitting that size will cause rollover 

You must restart the gateway server for your changes to take effect.

For a complete list of log files, see Log Files.

Log Files

Table B-1 lists the log files that are stored on the gateway server.You can view these files using any text editor. To view a log file for the VNE Customization Builder, you must first specify a log file name using the procedure documented in the Cisco Prime Network 3.10 Customization Guide.
