Monitoring the Database Size
Monitoring the Database Size
You should regularly monitor the space used by the central database and
transaction logs. You can monitor database size by viewing the Logger’s
per-process log files. The per-process log files contain specific information on
Logger and database activity. The following example shows a per-process event
log file for a side A Logger.
The Logger logs events and trace messages that show the percentage of space used
in the database. These files are stored in a \logfiles subdirectory in the Logger’s
directory (la or lb). You can view the Logger’s per-process log files by using the
ICM dumplog utility.
When the database becomes 85 percent full, the Logger logs an EMS warning
message to the central database. The “85 percent full” warning message might
also immediately be sent to your ICM support provider where the appropriate
customer support engineer would be notified.
Note For more information on using the dumplog utility, see Viewing Per-Process
Log Files, page 6-15.
If you decide that you need additional database space, contact your ICM support
provider.
