HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 configuration, command, and file reference

2.3.1.31 nsslapd-auditlog-maxlogsize (Audit log maximum log size)
This attribute sets the maximum audit log size in megabytes. When this value is reached, the
audit log is rotated. That means the server starts writing log information to a new log file. If
nsslapd-auditlog-maxlogsperdir to 1, the server ignores this attribute.
When setting a maximum log size, consider the total number of log files that can be created due
to log file rotation. Also, remember that there are three different log files (access log, audit log,
and error log) maintained by the Directory Server, each of which consumes disk space. Compare
these considerations to the total amount of disk space for the audit log.

file is unlimited in size.

2.3.1.32 nsslapd-auditlog-maxlogsperdir (Audit log maximum number of log files)
This attribute sets the total number of audit logs that can be contained in the directory where
the audit log is stored. Each time the audit log is rotated, a new log file is created. When the
number of files contained in the audit log directory exceeds the value stored on this attribute,
then the oldest version of the log file is deleted. The default is 1 log. If this default is accepted,
the server will not rotate the log, and it grows indefinitely.
If the value for this attribute is higher than 1, then check the
nsslapd-auditlog-logrotationtime attribute to establish whether log rotation is specified.
If the nsslapd-auditlog-logrotationtime attribute has a value of -1, then there is no log
rotation. See “nsslapd-auditlog-logrotationtime (Audit log rotation time)” for more information.

2.3.1.33 nsslapd-auditlog-mode (Audit log file permission)
This attribute sets the access mode or file permissions with which audit log files are to be created.
The valid values are any combination of 000 to 777 because they mirror numbered or absolute
UNIX file permissions. The value must be a combination of a 3-digit number, the digits varying
from 0 through 7:
