Error Message  
Defect/Enhancement Number ORB-2134
Cause  
Resolution GIOP Snoop File Management


Currently existing is the following configuration variable:
  • plugins:giop_snoop:rolling_file = "true/false"
This rolls the file on a date schedule, so a new day means a new file.
 

The following new variables have been introduced:
  • plugins:giop_snoop:rolling_file_strategy = "date/size" (date by default)
Setting the above configuration value string to "size" will instead roll the file when it reaches a certain size limit
If the above configuration value is set to "date", the filename will follow existing convention:
/var/adm/giop_snoop.log.02172012
/var/adm/giop_snoop.log.02182012
/var/adm/giop_snoop.log.02192012


If strategy is set to "size", filename will follow this new convention:
/var/adm/giop_snoop.log.2012.02.17.15.03.15
/var/adm/giop_snoop.log.2012.02.17.22.55.47
/var/adm/giop_snoop.log.2012.02.18.03.14.05

  • plugins:giop_snoop:rolling_file_size = "" (defaults is 10)
This is the size in Megabytes that the log file will grow to before it gets rolled.
 
  • plugins:giop_snoop:rolling_file_by_size_compression_threshold = ""
When this is set to n, the (n 1)th log file and all older log files (if any exist) will be compressed.
When this is set to 0, no log files will be compressed.
 
  • plugins:giop_snoop:rolling_file_by_size_deletion_threshold = ""
When this is set to n, the (n 1)th log file and all older log files (if any exist) will be deleted.
When this is set to 0, no log files will be deleted.
