Red Hat 8.1 - Manual (Page 33)

attribute value to 1 or set the nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime attribute to -1. The server checks
the nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdir attribute first, and, if this attribute value is larger than 1, the
server then checks the nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime attribute. See
Section 2.3.1.57,
“nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdir (Maximum Number of Error Log Files)” for more information.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Range -1 | 1 to the maximum 32 bit integer value
(2147483647), where a value of -1 means that
the time between error log file rotation is
unlimited).
Default Value 1
Syntax Integer
Example nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime: 100
2.3.1.55. nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtimeunit (Error Log Rotation Time Unit)
This attribute sets the units for nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime (Error Log Rotation Time). If the
unit is unknown by the server, then the log never expires.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Values month | week | day | hour | minute
Default Value week
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtimeunit: day
2.3.1.56. nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsize (Maximum Error Log Size)
This attribute sets the maximum error log size in megabytes. When this value is reached, the error log is
rotated, and the server starts writing log information to a new log file. If nsslapd-errorlog-
maxlogsperdir is set to 1, the server ignores this attribute.
When setting a maximum log size, consider the total number of log files that can be created due to log
file rotation. Also, remember that there are three different log files (access log, audit log, and error log)
maintained by the Directory Server, each of which consumes disk space. Compare these considerations
to the total amount of disk space for the error log.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Range -1 | 1 to the maximum 32 bit integer value
(2147483647) where a value of -1 means the log
file is unlimited in size.
Default Value 100
Syntax Integer
Example nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsize: 100
2.3.1.57. nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdir (Maximum Number of Error Log Files)
This attribute sets the total number of error logs that can be contained in the directory where the error
log is stored. Each time the error log is rotated, a new log file is created. When the number of files
contained in the error log directory exceeds the value stored on this attribute, then the oldest version of
the log file is deleted. The default is 1 log. If this default is accepted, the server does not rotate the log,
and it grows indefinitely.
If the value for this attribute is higher than 1, then check the nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime
attribute to establish whether log rotation is specified. If the nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime
attribute has a value of -1, then there is no log rotation. See
Section 2.3.1.54, “nsslapd-errorlog-
logrotationtime (Error Log Rotation Time)” for more information.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Range 1 to the maximum 32 bit integer value
(2147483647)
Default Value 1
Syntax Integer
Example nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdir: 10
