Excessive logging between clusters

We recently setup a cluster server for our mail server. It is working as expected (for the most part). An issue that is bugging me is that the log is so chatty now – it records every little cluster replication action on 1,000 mail files. It is now almost impossible to read the log. We used to have about 30 miscellaneous docs in the log daily – now it is closer to 300. Is there a config setting to reduce this? I’m hoping to find something like Log_sesssions=0 or Log_Replication=0.

We see millions of entries like:

Pushing mail\zzz.nsf to cluster mail\zzz.nsf

Replicator updated 1 document(s) in cluster mail\zzz.nsf from mail\zzz.nsf

Thanks in advance.

The entries look like you may have log_replication=1

You may verify this by entering “sh config log_replication” at the console which will display the entry with the variable if it exists.

If it does, which I believe it will, then you may change it by entering “set config log_replication=” at the console.

Before you do, check to make sure it isn’t set via the notes.ini tab of the server’s configuration document.

Hope this helps!

Thanks. I’ll have to use that for now. What I would really like would be to set it like:

Log_Replication=1 <— log “normal” replication

Log_CLReplication=0 <— don’t log cluster replication

(I just made up that second setting, wishing that it existed.)

If you use the log_replication=0, you’ll reduce the amount of chatter but you can still review replication events in the log if that’s any consolation. =)
