Rotation of logs on LSF

unknown

Curious if people are manually resetting all of the log files I recently learned about in LSF Admin training or if people are writing .bat jobs to rotate and if so, what is your cycle?  Are you keeping 2 or 3 ?

Thanks

I have shell scripts (I am in the world of AIX) that rotate my logs based on size. If they reach a certain threshold, at the next stop/start they are rotated out and we start fresh. I hold them in a separate directory for a month, then compress them and they hang around for a year or so and at that point I am pretty confident they are safe to delete. Overkill, probably, but if we have to go back hunting for something, either for us or Infor support, we should have the logs we need. Doing it by size keeps them manageable for searching and, depending on your situation, a very large log file could hinder performance. We are LSF centric and right now I only worry about LSF and WAS logs, not so much in LMRK at the moment. I chose size over a certain number of logs because only keeping a few could let valuable trouble shooting information get away if not enough logs are kept. Others may approach this differently, but this is the path I took. hope this helps.
