Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Configuration, Command, and File Reference

Parameter Description

Default Value week

Syntax DirectoryString

Example nsslapd-auditlog-logrotationtimeunit: day

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.

Parameter Description

Entry DN cn=config

Valid Range -1 | 1 to the maximum 32 bit integer value

(2147483647), where a value of -1 means the

log file is unlimited in size.

Default Value 100

Syntax Integer

Example nsslapd-auditlog-maxlogsize: 50

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 Section 3.1.29, “nsslapd-auditlog-logrotationtime (Audit Log Rotation Time)” for

more information.
