Configuring the Log Size for a Specific Screen

Configuring the global log size for a centralized management group of Screens, or Screens in an HA cluster, is performed on the primary Screen through the administration GUI.

Global log size is also configured through the command line (see Appendix B). It is controlled by the variable LogSize.

The following is an example of what you type to display the log file size for a specific Screen, while logged in to the primary Screen:

admin% ssadm -r primary edit Initialedit> list Screen scrn1 ADMIN_CERTIFICATE "scrn1.admin" CDP ROUTING DNS scrn2 ADMIN_CERTIFICATE "scrn2.admin" CDP ROUTING DNS LOGSIZE 444

scrn1 does not have the log file size configured and so uses the global default value. scrn2 has a size of 444 (Mbytes) that is used instead of the global default value on that Screen.

The following is an example of what you type to set the log file size for a specific Screen, while logged in to the primary Screen:

admin% ssadm -r primary edit Initialedit> add Screen scrn1 ADMIN_CERTIFICATE scrn1.admin CDP ROUTING DNS LOGSIZE 20
edit> save
edit> quit

When altering the value of LogSize, be sure to reenter all the other attributes as they were displayed by the list verb.

The following is an example of how you would alter the log file size for a specific Screen through the administration GUI:

1. From the Policies page, select and edit the policy to be altered.

2. Select the desired Type: "Screen common object."

3. Edit the Screen's common object.

4. Alter the Log Size entry through the Miscellaneous tab.

5. Save the change in Save Changes.

6. Activate the policy.

7. Restart the Screen for the log file size change to take effect.
