I see the notes.ini settings for the log file (log.nsf), but is there any way to actually mantain the overall size of the file? Or is the only option to down the server, delete/rename the full and bring the server back up!? My log.nsf is getting pretty big and I want to get her under control!

compact?

Compact works, but I was thinking of something more defined, like delete or rename the log after it reaches a certain size. I am guessing bringing down the server to do this operation is required and not done by Domino itself… just wanted to be sure

Sorry so long for the second response…I missed the notification somehow…
Anyhow, we generally use a replication setting “remove documents not modified after X days” and we have compact running nightly. While this doesn’t restrict the log by SIZE, it does prevent it getting too big.
If you wanted to do some type of archiving, you could create an agent that would copy the documents off to another database and then delete them from the log. You’d want to avoid it getting today’s documents, though, so that it doesn’t pull something while it is being written to.
