Notes.ini log= doesn't seem to be working Pls Advise : Domino 6.0.3 Win2k

hi,i am trying out this parameter on the domino 6.0.3 clustered pair of servers; running win2k sp4.

customer would like to archive the log files after 21 days, but in order to test that the parameter works, i’m shortening it to one day:

so in the notes.ini i key in the following

Log=LOG.NSF, 1, 0, 1, 8000

the syntax is:

Log=logfilename, log_option, not_used, days, size

where:

Setting

Description

logfilename

Log database file name, for example Log.nsf

log_option

These are as follows:

1 = Log to the console

2 = Force database fixup when opening the log file

3 (not currently used, reserved)

4 = Full document scan

not_used

This is always zero days

Number of days to save log documents size

Size of log text (in bytes) in event documents

Q:

after 3 days, all the events in misc are still there. can someone pls advise if there’s some kind of dependency for this parameter or if it oes not work in 6.0.3

You can also set in the Replication Settings of the log database to automatically remove documents not modified in the last xx days - which you could set as 1 day.

I normally set both the log setting in the Notes.ini and the replication setting in the log database to ensure documents are removed.
