The log documents for my mail server are only getting about 25 entries per document. For my mail server I am getting about 250 entries per document. This results in horrible response times in opening my Misc. Events on the mail server because of the number of documents having to be read in to the view.
Any clues on how to change the number of entries posted to each log document?
Thanks in advance,
Subject: Check the log= notes.ini parameter in your server’s notes.ini file…
From the admin help:
Syntax: Log=logfilename, log_option, not_used, days, size
Description: Specifies the contents of the log file and controls other logging actions:
Parameter
Value
logfilename
The log database file name, usually LOG.NSF
log_option
Log options:
1 - Log to the console
2 - Force database fixup when opening the log file
4 - Full document scan
not_used
Always set to zero; this parameter is not currently used
days
The number of days to retain the documents in the log file
size
The size of log text in event documents
For example:
Log=LOG.NSF,1,0,7,20000
The log file (LOG.NSF) is deleted in seven days and can contain up to 20,000 bytes. All log information is also sent to the console.
Applies to: Servers
Default: Log=LOG.NSF,1,0,7,40000
Subject: RE: Check the log= notes.ini parameter in your server’s notes.ini file…
My mail server is set for:
Log=log.nsf, 1, 0, 7, 200000
My app server is set for:
Log=log.nsf, 1, 0, 7, 40000
Both servers run on the same iSeries machine and are at the same code level (6.0.2 CF1)
Subject: That 64K limit again?
Could be a 64K limit on the value of this parameter, because there’s a 64K limit on the size of a text field.
On that basis, 200000 MOD 65535 = 3395
3395 is about 8.5% of the 40000 value you have for the apps server, which corresponds quite well with your mail server log documents being about 10% of the size on the apps server.
Problem solved?

I have set them the same and will see what happens at server restart.
Odd…
Subject: Check the log= notes.ini parameter in your server’s notes.ini file… - not deleteing after 3 days?
hi,as a sideline, i tried the log parameter, and set numberof days to expire as 1 day
so
Log=LOG.NSF,1,0,1,20000
nothing was deleted in the log.nsf’s misc events etc after 3 days.
is there some dependency task which is required to delete?
can these be archived instead or delted?
thanks

Subject: Number of log entries per log document
Are the servers running the same version of Domino? I suspect they are not.
Subject: RE: Number of log entries per log document
I had the same problem.
→ Set the last value of the parameter max. to 100000.
Makes problem:
Log=log.nsf, 1, 0, 7, 200000
In the case above, domino wirtes just around 25 entrys per log-document.

Subject: Number of log entries per log document
Are these 2 different mail servers? Your first and second sentence seem to reference the same “mail server”.
I don’t think there is a way to say more many entries will be on each document through.
Subject: RE: Number of log entries per log document
Thanks for catching that. I meant that my mail server gets 250 entries and my app server gets about 250 entries per document.
There was a time when my mail server had lots of entries per document, but I cannot trace it to any changes I made.
Subject: RE: Number of log entries per log document
I only saw the ini parameter which would limit how many documents would be in the database. I did not see a parameter for the number of entries per document.
