When I upgraded from Domino 7.0.3 to Domino to 8.5, I noticed that my log.nsf file is about 4 times the size it was prior to the upgrade. I started the Domino 8.5 server with a new log.nsf file so it would use a newer template and ODS version. My log.nsf file is about 8 GB right now. On Domino 7.0.3 it was never more than 2 GB. Any idea if there is a setting I missed to get this back under control?
Subject: documents
Do you have a setting to make it recursive? It should be in the notes.ini of the server.
Another thing, which is the amount of documents in the log.nsf R7 and R8? I mean average.
Maybe you are logging something now that you werent before.
Subject: notes.ini
Here is what I have in my Notes.ini for the log:Log=log.nsf, 1, 0, 5, 40000
I’m not sure what you mean by recursive in this case.
It does look like we’re logging more than before: over 268,000 in 5 days. Yikes. The only extra thing I have turned on is the debug_threadid that we were using when troubleshooting an issue with IBM. I’ve had that on before running Domino 7 without it filling up a whole lot.
Subject: debug file
Do you have this setting?
Debug_outfile=debug.txt
If not, I suggest putting that and watch the debug.txt file and compare if that’s the setting thats filling up the log file.
Subject: That command is deprecated.
You should use
CONSOLE_LOG_ENABLED=1
It will write to the IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT folder in the data folder.
