Greetings, all!

Environment - UV 11.3.5 on AIX 7.2

Whenever we stop and restart UV, the current logs in $uvhome get saved into the $uvhome/saved_logs folder.  It's not just a straight copy, though.  It appears that the current values get appended to the end of the respective files that were already in saved_logs, but it also appears that some of the information from the front ends of the existing saved_logs files gets removed.  Is there documentation somewhere that says how these files are managed?  Are each of the log files handled the same, or is each managed according to its own unique set of rules?  Are these rules configurable by us?

Some of these files can get fairly large, so we're looking to be able to predict/manage what is going to happen, as well as ensure the sizing of the associated filesystem is correct.

Thank you!

Hi Brian,

To the best of my knowledge, the saved_logs versions of the log files will keep 20 copies of the logs. Once you reach 20, the last one will be removed and the newest one will be added when stopping and restarting UV. The logs should all behave in the same manner. If take a look at one of the logs in saved_logs, you can see a dividing line between each saved log. There is no configuration for this behavior of which I am aware. 

Thanks,

Neil
