This section explains the methods for configuring and operating operation logs.
Perform the following procedure:
Disk space estimation
Infrastructure administrator (infra_admin) estimates the disk size to use for storing operation logs.
Estimate the amount of disk space using the following formula, and then decide the number of days to retain operation logs.
{(Number_of_operations_of_the_resource_in_1_day) * (Number_of_target_resources) * 1(KB)} * (retention_period) |
Example
Disk space when estimating that the retention period is 180 days (by default), the target resource is operated 4 times, and the number of target resources is 256
Retention period | Necessary Disk Space | Formula |
|---|---|---|
180 days worth | Approx. 185 MB | 4 * 256 * 1 * 180 = 184320 (KB) |
Check the settings in the [Date and Time properties] dialog of the operating system
Check whether the following tabs of the OS are configured correctly. If the settings are incorrect, set them correctly.
[Date and Time] tab
[Time Zone] tab
[Internet Time(or the Network Time Protocol)] tab
Configure the retention period of operation logs
Execute the rcxadm logctl set command, to configure the retention period for operation logs.
For details on the rcxadm logctl set command, refer to "5.13 rcxadm logctl" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
Start recording of the operation log
Execute the rcxadm logctl start command to start recording the operation log.
When the rcxadm logctl start command is executed, the operation logs will be recorded for the configured retention period from the date recording of operation logs is started.
Days when no events occur, or days when recording is not possible due to the manager being stopped are not counted as dates for recording.
Note
When the settings of the OS [Date and Time Properties] dialog have been changed after starting the recording of operation logs
It may not be possible to correctly display or delete the operation logs.
When changing the settings of the OS [Date and Time Properties] dialog after starting the recording of operation logs
Refer to "16.1.3 Retention".
When a Cloud Edition license has been registered
When starting the manager, recording of operation logs is started automatically.
