Console Log Mirroring
One of the new features of Lotus Domino 8.5 is the capability of mirroring the console into a log file.
Console log mirroring causes a new server thread to be created which monitors all messages written to the
Console Log file and duplicates these messages into another file. When this new file is filled, the thread
closes the mirrored file and creates a new file into which subsequent messages are written. Thus you have
all messages not only in log.nsf but also in flat files. You may use them later to parse and send to 3rd party
application or search them.
Console log mirroring is not enabled by default.
There are several notes.ini parameters what impact how the Console Log Mirroring is workings.
•
Console_Log_Mirror=1 -- Enables the mirroring of console (0 Disables the mirroring (Default))
•
Retain_Mirror_Logs=1 -- Prevents deletion of previous mirrors when Domino restarts (0 Deletes all
previous console mirror files (Default)).
• Console_Log_Max_Kbytes= -- Sets the maximum size of the Console Log/mirror files (When this
limit is reached, a new file is created. The default value is 100,000 (100MB). Maximum size is
1,000,000 (1GB).
When information is written to the console log, it is written also in console mirror files. When console.log
reaches a limit, information is written in the beginning of the file. At this stage Domino closes old mirror file,
and creates a new one.
The maximum number of console mirror files is 999. The names of the files are the following console1.log,
console2.log, console999.log.
