HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor v6.0 Software Troubleshooting and FAQs Guide

Maintaining versions for host agent logs
You can maintain a minimum of three versions of the HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor host agent
log file (PerformanceAdvisorXP.log) for your reference in troubleshooting host agent issues.
This is applicable on all the supported operating platforms for HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor
host agents.
In the paxp_services.properties file, specify the number of versions you want to maintain
against the Logger.NoOfFiles field. By default, a maximum of three log files are maintained.
When the log file is created, the date and time stamp of the log file gets appended to the
PerformanceAdvisorXP.log file name. Following is the file naming convention:
<yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss>_PerformanceAdvisorXP.log.
When the number of files and the specified size for each of the files have reached the maximum
set limit, the log file with the oldest date and time stamp is deleted, and a new file with the present
date and time is created.
In thepaxp_services.properties file, you can also set the minimum file size by specifying
the value for the Logger.LogFileSize field. By default, 100MB is the minimum file size. The
file size value can either be appended by MB or GB. If you choose to see the file size in GB, the
minimum file size be 1GB. If the log file size grows beyond this specified value, the data being
written into the existing log file is brought to a logical conclusion and another version of the log
file is automatically created.
NOTE: The host agent service need not be restarted for any of the above-mentioned modifications
made to the paxp_services.properties file.
