25.4.5 Working With Service Logs
This section describes how to work with service logs by using the configutil command for searching and viewing logs. It consists of the following sections:
To Send Service Logs to syslog
-
Run the configutil command with the syslogfacility option:
configutil -o logfile.service.syslogfacility -v value
where service is admin, pop, imap, imta, or http and value is user, mail, daemon, local0 to local7, or none.
Once the value is set, messages are logged to the syslog facility corresponding to the set value and all the other log file service options are ignored. When the option is not set or the value is none, logging uses the Messaging Server log files.
25.4.5.1 To Disable HTTP Logging
If your system does not support HTTP message access, that is, Webmail, you can disable HTTP logging by setting the following variables. Do not set these variables if your system requires Webmail support (for example, Messenger Express).
-
Run the following configutil commands:
configutil -o service.http.enable -v no configutil -o service.http.enablesslport -v no
To Set the Server Log Level
-
Run the following configutil command:
configutil -o logfile.service.loglevel -v level
where service is admin, pop, imap, imta, or http and loglevel is Nolog, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Information, or Debug.
To Specify a Directory Path for Server Log Files
To Specify a Maximum File Size for Each Service Log
-
Run the following configutil command:
configutil -o logfile.service.maxlogfilesize -v size
where size specifies a number of bytes.
To Specify a Service Log Rotation Schedule
-
Run the following configutil command:
configutil -o logfile.service.rollovertime -v number
where number specifies a number of seconds.
To Specify a Maximum Number of Service Log Files Per
Directory
-
Run the following configutil command:
configutil -o logfile.service.maxlogfiles -v number
where number specifies the maximum number of log files.
To Specify a Storage Limit
-
Run the following configutil command:
configutil -o logfile.service.maxlogsize -v number
where number specifies a number in bytes.
To Specify the Minimum Amount of Free Disk Space to
Reserve
-
Run the following configutil command:
configutil -o logfile.service.minfreediskspace -v number
where number specifies a number in bytes.
25.4.5.2 To Specify an Age for Logs at Which They Expire
configutil -o logfile.service.expirytime -v number |
where number specifies a number in seconds.
