Appendix A ACS Command Reference
Log files in ACS are managed using various utilities, such as logrotate, log4j, and log4cxx. The log files
are numbered and rolled over based on a configured maximum file size. Once a log file touches the
configured limit, the data is rolled over to another file. This file is renamed in the
XXX.N
.log format,
where:
•
XXX
—Specifies the name of the log file.
•
N
—Specifies any value from 1 to 10. This value varies depending on the log file. While some
utilities roll over up to 10 log files, others roll over up to 9 log files. For information on these log
files, see
Table A-2
.
For instance, the default maximum file size for log files that logrotate manages is 5 MB. When a log file
(for example, acsupgrade.log) reaches the 5-MB limit, it is renamed as acsupgrade.log.1. With every
5-MB increase in file size, the latest file is renamed as acsupgrade.log.2, acsupgrade.log.3, and so on.
Logrotate stores up to 10 log files at a given time. The latest log information, however, is always stored
in acsupgrade.log. In ACS, logrotate runs as an hourly kron job and verifies the disk space allocated for
the log files.
