Configuring the Global Default Log Size

The global default log size is controlled by the variable LogSize. It contains the following items:

prg=logname=LogSizevalue=size (in Mbyte units)
description="descriptive text" (optional)
enabled | disabled (default is enabled)

The global default log size can only be configured using the command line interface. (see Appendix B, Command-Line Reference.)

Group-Screen installations are configured on the primary Screen.

The following is an example of what you would type to display the global default log file size, while logged in to the primary Screen:

admin% ssadm -r primary edit Initial
edit> vars print prg=log name=LogSize
PRG="log" NAME="LogSize" ENABLEDVALUE="100"
DESCRIPTION="global log capacity (MB)"...

The following is an example of what you would type to set the global default log file size, while logged in to the primary Screen:

admin% ssadm -r primary edit Initial
edit> vars add prg=log name=LogSize value=new size
description=new description
edit> quit

The following is an example of what you would type to set the global default log file size to 250 Mbytes, while logged in to the primary Screen:

edit> vars add prg=log name=LogSize value=250 description="log size (MB)"

Although, the output produced by print surrounds the value of each item in double quotes, these are only necessary on input to protect embedded spaces within the values of items. Also, although print outputs all tag names in capital letters (for example, PRG=), these tags are recognized in a case-insensitive manner on input (for example, prg=, Prg=, PRG= are equivalent).
