| rotate-log(1) asadmin Utility Subcommands rotate-log(1) |
| |
| NAME |
| rotate-log - rotates the log file |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| rotate-log [--help] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| The rotate-log subcommand rotates the server log by renaming the file |
| with a timestamp name in the format server.log_date-and-time, and |
| creating a new log file. Changes take effect dynamically, that is, |
| server restart is not required. |
| |
| The size of the log queue is configurable through the |
| logging.properties file. Log rotation is based on file size or elapsed |
| time since the last log rotation. In some circumstances, the queue |
| might fill up, especially if the log level is set to FINEST and there |
| is heavy activity on the server. In this case, the rotate-log |
| subcommand can be used to rotate the server log immediately. This |
| subcommand is also useful in creating scripts for rotating the log at |
| convenient times. |
| |
| This subcommand is supported in remote mode only. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| --help, -? |
| Displays the help text for the subcommand. |
| |
| --target |
| The server, cluster, or server instance for which logs will be |
| rotated. If this option is omitted, logs are rotated for the |
| default server. |
| |
