GSTD.RAW File Increasing very rapidly and consuming space

Hi Bobby,

Since that file is very large (7GB), hence i am not able to open it and so i am not able to tell you exactly what message it is.

Hi Bobby,

I tried the same yesterday and deleted the gstd.raw file which was generated yesterday. But today again i faced the same issue.

What messages is it filling up with?

Hi Pratik,

Have a look at this article which will probably help address this.  If it doesn't, try to have a look to see what message is being logged that is causing the problem.  This should give a better indication of where the issue might be.

KB:  GSTD.raw growing too large

-Bobby

Try to delete the old big gstd.raw file , and a new one will be generated , once it started to grow up , take a copy of it to another place and open the file to check what is the repeated error message appears massively leading to growing up the log rapidly , may be if the log reaches 10 MB or slighlty more you can copy it to another location in order to be able to open it.

I will be waiting your reply with the error message appears.

Thanks,

As far as I know gstd.raw should rotate automatically, when you restart service. You can setup environment variables how many log you want to save and size of the log for rotation.

Hi holyboy1989,

Did you manage to get the repeated error message appears in the gstd.raw file leading to grow up the log rapidly ?

Thanks,

If this is UNIX/Linux you can run tail on file.  If this is Windows, you can call tail from PowerShell (Get-Content gstd.raw | Select-Object -Last 100). To trim it down, just run "> gstd.raw" (without quotes).

Have you configured debug logging on the console?  Check Console>Setup>System Options or check the environmental variable GST_DEBUG and if necessary set back to 1.
