  • You can delete the old logs, do NOT delete the currently log.

    You can turn down the log levels :

    vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o 117 -s DebugLevel=1 -s DiagnosticLevel=6

    The values for the logs are 0 - 6 (6 highest)

    The default levels are 1 and 6 like shown.

    The vxlogmgr command has a -F option to flush the logs apart from the current, this is better then deleteing.

    Eg. vxlogcfg -F

    That clears everything, kinda neat ...

    Other options are listed in here :

  • vxlogmgr -F will actually flush the logs, but definitely check the log levels as Martin suggested.

    If you have nbjm turned up with DebugLevel set to 5 or 6 it will get huge.

     

     vxlogcfg -p 51216 -o 117 -l will show you the current settings, then use the command Martin sent to lower the DebugLevel to 1
