A Logging

This appendix describes the mechanism that OFSBD uses when logging system messages.

About System Log Messages

The Common Logging component provides a centralized mechanism for logging Behavior Detection messages, in which the system places all log messages in a single message library file. In the event that a log file becomes very large (one gigabyte or more), the system creates a new log file. The naming convention is to add .x to the log file’s name , such as mantas.log, mantas.log.1, mantas.log.2.

Note:

The log file size is a configurable property; section Log File Sizes on page 251 provides instructions. The default value for this property is 10 MB. The maximum file size should not exceed two gigabytes (2000000000 bytes).
