Notes.ini Entry


Name:
    Console_Log_Max_KBytes

Syntax
    Console_Log_Max_KBytes=Size in KBytes

Applies to:
    Servers and/or Workstations

Add-on:

    First Release:

      Obsolete since:

        Category:
          Console

        Default:
          None

        UI equivalent:
          None

        Description:
        Specifies the maximum size for the Console Log file (CONSOLE.LOG, by default). If the Console_Log_Max_Kbytes setting is not present or is set to 0, then the file size is unlimited. When the maximum file size is reached, new logging output starts to overwrite existing logging output at the beginning of the file.

        This setting can be changed at any time during a server session and when a new maximum file size is specified, it takes effect upon the next write. If the new maximum file size is less than or equal to the current maximum file size, then the maximum size will be set to the current size to prevent growth and the new size will take effect upon the next server session.

        SPR# JCHN5HF72V - This fix will send in the proper portion of the debug_outfile for automatic diagnostic collection when the notes.ini parameter Console_Log_Max_KBytes is set.

        If you utilize the native Domino console logging and do not explicitly enable console logging with the console_log_enabled=1 notes.ini setting or specify a default console logging limit size with the console_log_max_kbytes=<desired size> notes.ini setting, upgrading the Domino server to Domino 8 sets the console logging limit to 1K. The new default setting of 1K was introduced to improve product serviceability and is enabled without user intervention or notification

        Therefore, we strongly recommend that, if you utilize console logging for crash reporting to Lotus Support, troubleshooting, document retention or whatever other purpose, you enabled one of the following notes.ini parameters:

        – console_log_enabled=1

        – console_log_max_kbytes=<desired size>

        Stopping and restarting console logging, with the stop consolelog and start consolelog commands, is required for these setting to take effect.
