How to Keep the log file count low in VIPR SRM

Disk Space is always a concern with any application/vapp.

VIPR SRM, like most enterprise products generate log files.

For example, If I go to the VNX collector, I can select the logging.properties file. I can then change the

java.util.logging.FileHandler.count,  to 100 as shown below:

This works pretty well, however, we find that sometimes log files are accumulating and not rolling over at 100.

We have found that it normally arises when the collectors are stopped, restarted and the file is still locked by the system.

In that case, a log-1-1, log-2-2, etc. is created. If you are manually stopping and restarting the collectors, make sure

that if locks are created, then manually delete the logs that are no longer needed.

Remove the collector logs that are no longer needed, as well as the lock(lck) files: for example: collecting-1-1.log.
