Clean-Up Frequency

The minimum free space that triggers a full check of log files and the maximum time between log file checks control how often the log cleaner performs the clean-up procedure. When it completes the procedure, the log cleaner determines the time interval until the next required clean-up based on the RAMdrive’s state.

If a clean-up results in the deletion of one or more log files or if certain thresholds are exceeded, frequency is based on the minimum time between log cleaner checks. Otherwise, the system gradually increases the interval up to the maximum time between log cleaner checks. The system increases the interval by one-quarter of the difference between the minimum and maximum interval, but not greater than one-half the minimum interval or smaller than 10 seconds. For example, using the default values, the interval would be increased by 30 seconds.
