Manual Log File Rotation
The Directory Server supports automatic log file rotation for all three logs.
However, you can manually rotate log files if you have not set automatic log file
creation or deletion policies. By default, access, error, and audit log files can be
found in the following location:
serverRoot
/slapd-
serverID
/logs/
To manually rotate log files:
1.
Shut down the server.
See “Starting and Stopping the Directory Server,” on page 35 for instructions.
2.
Move or rename the log file you are rotating in case you need the old log file
for future reference.
3.
Restart the server.
See “Starting and Stopping the Directory Server,” on page 35 for instructions.
