For a controller with the serial number 123456, the log files have the following names:
n
cloudreadyd-123456.log
n
service-app-mgr-123456.log
The maximum size of the log files is 5 MB. If the file size is reached:
n
The current log file is renamed:
<service-name>-<controller-hostname>.<Number of backup>.log
n
New log file with the original name is created. This log file is written to.
The higher the number in the backup’s file name, the older the backup. If the maximum number of
10 backups has been reached and the active log file has attained a size of 5 MB, the oldest backup
is deleted.
The directory looks like this then:
cloudreadyd-123456.log
--> active log file
cloudreadyd-123456.1.log
--> previous log file
...
cloudreadyd-123456.10.log
--> oldest log file
Thus, the maximum 11 log files use up a maximum of 55 MB of storage.
