Avoid using the Apache Restart command, instead you must use Apache reload command. If any
other modules using the Apache instance do not exit immediately in response to the Apache Restart
command, iFolder might hang.
9.4 Managing the Simias Log and Simias Access
Log
On the iFolder enterprise, there are two logs that track events:
Š
Simias Log: The
/simias/log/Simias.log
file contains status messages about the health of
the Simias Service.
Š Simias Access Log: The
simias/log/Simias/access/log
file contains file access events
for data and metadata about iFolders, users, membership in shared iFolders, and so on. It
reports the success of the event and identifies who did what and when they did it. For example,
if a file was deleted on the server, it identifies the user who initiated the deletion.
Review the logs whenever you need to troubleshoot problems with your iFolder system.
The Simias Log4net file (
/simias/Simias.log4net
) allows you specify output location of the log
files and what events are recorded at run time. Its parameters are based on, but not compliant with,
the
Apache Logging Services (http://logging.apache.org/log4net) . The following parameters are
modifiable:
Parameters Description Examples
Location and name of the log
<file value=” pathname ”
/>
The location of the log file. Specify
the full path where the file is
located on the computer, including
the volume, intermediate
directories, and filename.
<file value="<iFolder
Data>/simias/log/
Simias.log">
<file value=”<iFolder
Data>/simias/log/
Simias.access.log” />
Maximum size of the log file
<maximumFileSize
value=”
size ” />
The maximum size of the log file.
When the file grows to this size,
the content is rolled over into a
backup file and the recording
continues in the now-empty file. A
period and sequential number are
appended to the filename of the
backup log files, such as
Simias.log.1 and
Simias.log.2
.
For size , specify the number and
unit, such as
10MB
or
20MB
, with
no space between them.
<maximumFileSize
value="10MB" />
How much logged data to
retain
<maxSizeRollBackups
value=”
number ” />
The maximum number of backup
log files that are kept before they
are overwritten. The log rolls over
sequentially until the maximum
number of backups are created,
then overwrites the oldest log file.
<maxSizeRollBackups
value="10" />
