Hi,

iÂ´ve got a Problem with my Logfile it grows and grows and grows until there is no free space left on my Harddisk. At least it grows to about 12GB in less than one week.

In the Starwind.cfg i made the following changes:

Code: Select all

<logging>
	<!--LogLevel values: 0-Disabled, 1-Errors, 2-Warnings, 3-all messages	-->
	<LogLevel value="0"/>
	<!--Don't change the LogMask if you have no idea what does it mean!-->
	<LogMask value="0xC000ffff"/>
</logging>

My Logfiel looks like this.

Code: Select all

4/8 9:22:51.234 24c MIR -> Mirror_ScsiExec: >>
4/8 9:22:51.234 24c MIR: Mirror_ScsiExec: (0x15DC4B), CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

4/8 9:23:05.921 bc MIR: Mirror_FlushCache: Beginning flush of cache... 
4/8 9:23:08.921 bc MIR: Mirror_FlushCache: Beginning flush of cache...

isnÂ´t it possible to limit the log size?

Thank you for you help

Change loglevel variable in the StarWind.cfg from "0" to "2".

P.S. How did it happen you've enabled verbose logging??

I changed it manually.

i found it on this topic.

but why is the verbose loglevel and not disabled ?????

We have only errors enabled by default AFAIK, so I don't know how did it happen you have verbose... Probably we\ve asked you to turn it ON when we were helping with some issue on your machine and later we've forgot to turn it OFF.

Hi.
Please try the following values:

<logging>
- 
<LogLevel value="1" />
- 
<LogMask value="0x8fffffff" />
</logging>
And restart StarWind service.

Also please make sure that you haven't configured loglevel parameters in plugins section.

"loglevel value="0-3" - override log level for a plugin (by default global LogLevel value is used).

Thanks!

I tried your values.

The size of the Logfile grows in 1 hour to 78 MB.
with loglevel 2 it grows in 1 hour to 146 MB.

In my opinion this ist much to big.

Is it possible for you to zip and send us latest logfile?
If it's size is to big we can provide you with ftp account to upload that file.

Hi,

To disable verbose logs in the Mirror module open your StarWind.cfg file with Notepad and find the Mirror plugin descriptor:

<plugin module="Mirror.dll">

Change it as follows:

<plugin module="Mirror.dll" loglevel="1">

After restarting of the service the problem should be fixed.
