Processing Log files of SAM, AM/PM large sizes.

Hi itc,

yes logadm will do. Two ways to rotate Smarts InCharge's log files:
- kill -USR1 for .log files
- mv (move) for .audit and .archive

Recommended command as suggested earlier in this thread which is used in all environments is :
/opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts/bin/dmctl -s InCharge exec roll_log

...and scripted out to handle all logs for all servers is even better. In windows I roll them and rename them with the script as follows (which in windows also adds the date). By running this every day, I essentually have daily logs to review if needed.

Is there a similar command for Windows to roll the log files?

Thanks..

dmctl -s SAM01 exec roll_log
dmctl -s SAM01-OI exec roll_log

is the windows log roll command- it is included in the script I used above for windows. drop the script into a batch file (match your path and filenames) and run the script in scheduled tasks.

Be careful just moving the SAM.audit log. It was working on pervious versions of SAM. Right now we have SAM 7.2 installed and if we move the SAM.audit log it will not create a new one. dmctl -s SAM roll_log is not working for SAM.audit log. Hope to have a solution in a few days. We are going to open a SR. As soon as we have the solution I'll post it.
