Controlling logs size

[Homer]

Hi there, im running WCS on ubuntu. How do i control the size of the logs and is it possible to disable it completely ? I woke up today having my harddisk completely full of logs mostly from flashphoner_manager.log.xxx .

Regards,
Homer.

Hi,
there is no possibility to enable rotation for flashphoner_manager logs, we will give such property in the next versions. Right now you can set WARN log level for manager, this will decrease size of logs:
1. Stop WCS server with bin/webcallserver stop
2. Goto 'lib' directory, open wcs_manager-1.0.jar (for example with midnight commander)
3. Edit log4j.properties inside jar file, change log4j.rootLogger to:

 log4j.rootLogger=warn, stdout, fAppender

4. Save changes
5. Start server with bin/webcallserver start

Hi,
we added log rotation in last build.
ExtendedDailyRollingFileAppender can be used to limit log files both core and manager.
Additional configuration options for conf/log4j.properties:

log4j.appender.fAppender.MaxNumberOfDays=7 #how long do we keep them
log4j.appender.fAppender.MaxFilesInFolder=0 #max number of files to keep
log4j.appender.fAppender.CompressBackups=false #compress old logs, effective only if MaxFilesInFolder=0

Example 1, rotate logs every hour and keep only 12 files which will give us last 12 hours only:

log4j.appender.fAppender=com.flashphoner.common.logging.ExtendedDailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.fAppender.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH
log4j.appender.fAppender.MaxNumberOfDays=1
log4j.appender.fAppender.MaxFilesInFolder=12
log4j.appender.fAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.fAppender.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p %20.20c{1} - %t %m%n
log4j.appender.fAppender.File=${com.flashphoner.fms.AppHome}/logs/server_logs/flashphoner.log

Example 2, rotate logs every hour and keep only last 2 days:

log4j.appender.fAppender=com.flashphoner.common.logging.ExtendedDailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.fAppender.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH
log4j.appender.fAppender.MaxNumberOfDays=2
log4j.appender.fAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.fAppender.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p %20.20c{1} - %t %m%n
log4j.appender.fAppender.File=${com.flashphoner.fms.AppHome}/logs/server_logs/flashphoner.log

Hi, I have the same problem but still have -5.0.3333 release.
I'm considering to do this:
3. Edit log4j.properties inside jar file, change log4j.rootLogger to:
But my question is, Can't I to edit the log4j.properties file inside FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf# ?

Thanks a lot.

I've changed the jar file with MC but I still have thousands of INFO messages :-(

Good day.
We tested your case on the latest release version WCS 5.0.3530:
to remove INFO messages in the logs, you just need replace 'info' to 'warn' in the file log4j.properties (setting log4j.rootLogger):

/usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/log4j.properties

Please, change

log4j.rootLogger=info, stdout, fAppender

to

log4j.rootLogger=warn, stdout, fAppender

If it doesn't help you, please update WCS or provide us SSH access to your server, we will check.
