MTU Directory Server Log File Practices

• The access log is stored in the default location: <server-home>/slapd-<instance>/logs/access
• It can grow to a size of 100 MB before a new log file is created and the current one rotated out.
• The amount of disk space all access log files can occupy is 500 MB.
• A new access log file is created every day regardless of its current size.
• At most 10 access log files will be present (i.e., up to 10 access log files will be archived). The oldest file will be removed and a new one will take its place once the limit of 10 is reached.
• If an access log file is ever older than one month, it will be deleted.
• If disk space is ever below 5 MB, the oldest log file will be deleted.

• The error log is stored in the default location: <server-home>/slapd-<instance>/logs/errors
• It can grow to a size of 100 MB before a new log file is created and the current one rotated out.
• The amount of disk space all error log files can occupy is 100 MB.
• A new access log file is created every week regardless of its current size.
• At most 1 error log file will be present. The oldest file will be removed and a new one will take its place.
• If an error log file is ever older than one month, it will be deleted.
• If disk space is ever below 5 MB, the oldest log file will be deleted.

• The change log is stored in the default location: <server-home>/slapd-<instance>/changelogdb/
• It will store, at most, the last 500,000 changes.
• If a change log entry is ever older than 3 weeks, it will be deleted.
