2.3.1.14. nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtimeunit (Access Log Rotation
Time Unit)
This attribute sets the units for the
nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtime
attribute.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Values month | week | day | hour | minute
Default Value day
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtimeunit: week
2.3.1.15. nsslapd-accesslog-maxlogsize (Access Log Maximum Log Size)
This attribute sets the maximum access log size in megabytes. When this value is reached, the access
log is rotated. That means the server starts writing log information to a new log file. If the
nsslapd-
accesslog-maxlogsperdir
attribute is set to
1
, the server ignores this attribute.
When setting a maximum log size, consider the total number of log files that can be created due
to log file rotation. Also, remember that there are three different log files (access log, audit log, and
error log) maintained by the Directory Server, each of which consumes disk space. Compare these
considerations to the total amount of disk space for the access log.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Range -1 | 1 to the maximum 32 bit integer value
(2147483647), where a value of -1 means the log
file is unlimited in size.
Default Value 100
Syntax Integer
Example nsslapd-accesslog-maxlogsize: 100
2.3.1.16. nsslapd-accesslog-maxlogsperdir (Access Log Maximum
Number of Log Files)
This attribute sets the total number of access logs that can be contained in the directory where the
access log is stored. Each time the access log is rotated, a new log file is created. When the number
of files contained in the access log directory exceeds the value stored in this attribute, then the oldest
version of the log file is deleted. For performance reasons, Red Hat recommends
not
setting this value
to
1
because the server does not rotate the log, and it grows indefinitely.
If the value for this attribute is higher than
1
, then check the
nsslapd-accesslog-
logrotationtime
attribute to establish whether log rotation is specified. If the
nsslapd-
accesslog-logrotationtime
attribute has a value of
-1
, then there is no log rotation. See
Section 2.3.1.13, “nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtime (Access Log Rotation Time)”
for more
information.
