IZ40154: ITM UNIX OS AGENT 06.20.01.00 LOCAL LOGFILE GROWS BY 2MB/HOUR OR MORE, LEADING TO AGENT FAILURE.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Unix(R) OS Agent 6.2.0.1-TIV-ITM_UNIX-IF0004

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Since upgrading to ITM UNIX OS agent 06.20.01.00, the local
  logfile <hn>_ux_<epochtime>.log grows by 2MB/hour or more,
  leading to frequent agent failure due to lack of disk space.
  Server has more than 1000 UNIX print queues defined and log file
  content is almost exclusively about print queues
  
  
  
  06.20.01.00 agent has added logging for the UNIX Printer queues
  that wasn't there before
   in the 06.20.00.00 agent.
      This logging is excessive because the machine has more than
  1000 UNIX
   print queues.
       Desired correction to defect is to disable this additional
  logging.
  

Local fix

• This logging is excessive because the
  machine has more than 1000 UNIX
  print queues.
  Desired correction to defect is to disable this additional
  logging.
