Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Managing raw log file size for the daemon.raw, networkr.raw, and gstd.raw files

To configure the NetWorker software to rollover the .raw file by time, perform the following steps.

1. Log in to the NetWorker host with root on UNIX or Administrator on Windows.
2. To access the NSRLA database, use the nsradmin program:

   nsradmin -p nsrexec

3. Set the resource type to NSR log:

   . type: NSR log

4. Display a list of all log file resources:

   print

   For example, on a Windows NMC server, output similar to the following appears:

   nsradmin> print
                           type: NSR log;
                  administrator: Administrators,
   "group=Administrators,host=bu-iddnwserver.iddlab.local";
                          owner: NMC Log File;
                maximum size MB: 500;
               maximum versions: 10;
           runtime rendered log: ;
       runtime rollover by size: Disabled;
       runtime rollover by time: ;
                           name: gstd.raw;
                       log path: \
   "C:\\Program Files\\EMC NetWorker\\Management\\GST\\logs\\gstd.raw";
   
                           type: NSR log;
                  administrator: Administrators,
   "group=Administrators,host=bu-iddnwserver.iddlab.local";
                          owner: NetWorker;
                maximum size MB: 500;
               maximum versions: 10;
           runtime rendered log: ;
       runtime rollover by size: Disabled;
       runtime rollover by time: ;
                           name: daemon.raw;
                       log path: \
   "C:\\Program Files\\EMC NetWorker\\nsr\\logs\\daemon.raw";

5. Define the log resource that you want to edit:

   . type: NSR log; name: log_file_name

   For example, to select the gstd.raw file, type the following:

   . type: NSR log; name: gstd.raw

6. Update the runtime rollover by time attribute with the time that you want to rollover the log file.
   For example:

   • To configure the gstd.raw file to rollover at 12:34 AM, type:

     update runtime rollover by time: "00:34"

   • To configure the gstd.raw file to rollover on Sunday, type:

     update runtime rollover by time: "sunday"

   • To configure the gstd.raw file to rollover on the 15th day every month, type:

     update runtime rollover by time: "15 day every month"

7. When prompted to confirm the update, type: y
8. Verify that the attribute value update succeeds:

   nsradmin> print
   
   type: NSR log;
   administrator: root, "user=administrator,host=bu-iddnwserver.iddlab.local";
   owner: NMC Log File;
   maximum size MB: 500;
   maximum versions: 10;
   runtime rendered log: ;
   runtime rollover by size: Disabled;
   runtime rollover by time: "00:34", "sunday", "15 day every month";
   name: gstd.raw;
   log path: C:\\Program Files\\EMC NetWorker\\Management\\GST\\logs\\gstd.raw;

9. Exit the nsradmin program.
