Monitoring services

Services running in the Impact Server can print their activity and status messages to a log file. You can control the number of log files that are produced and their size.

You set the maximum number of backup files that can be created by services and their maximum file size in the following file: $IMPACT_HOME/etc/NCI_server.props, where NCI is the name of the Impact Server.

To set the maximum number of log files, modify the value of the following property:

impact.server.logging.maxlogfiles=n

Where n is the maximum number of log files for each service.

You can override this value on a per service basis by specifying the impact.<servicename>.maxbackupindex property in the individual servicename.props files to set this value for each service.

You can set the maximum size of the log files that can be created by each service by modifying the value of the following property:

impact.server.logging.maxlogsizebytes=n

Where n is the maximum log file size.

You can override this value on a per service basis by specifying the impact.<servicename>.maxlogsize property in the individual servicename.props files to set this value for each service.
