Managing console.log

[Vinay Agarwal]

Hello,

I just saw my console.log to be 11GB size. Is there a way to drop old log
data and keep this log to a more manageable size like 100MB or less without
having to restart OFBiz? Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Vinay Agarwal

you can remove the redirect from the script.
then use the other logs and html to view the activity
there is no way to manage it since it is a >> at the command line.

Would logrotate help?

Logrotate at linuxcommand

As BJ already pointed out, you can remove the redirection to
console.logfile from the startofbiz
script (bat or sh) and can use the ofbiz.log files for viewing activities,
which are located at {ofbiz.home}/framework/logs directory. These are
basically output from log4j api which ofbiz uses internally for logging.

You can create your custom appender for log4j for a desired output format
and file rotation policy. You can find more information on fine tuning at
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/index.html

The only possible DRAW-BACK......You can no more use SOPs in your java
code!!!

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Gautam Deb

If you are running the script in the background on Linux, you may like
to redirect the stdout and stderr to /dev/null. This way you can keep
the ofbiz running even after closing the terminal window.

Thanks,

Raj
