Notes on configuration data log file growth

Edit online

Take note of the following details about the size of log files.

  • Only 1 log file is created when a WebSEAL instance is started for the first time.
  • Data from the complete WebSEAL configuration file is recorded in the log file each time that WebSEAL instance is started.
  • The configuration file data for each subsequent startup is appended to the same log file.
  • Each entry in the log file begins with a timestamp. The timestamp entry distinguishes each data entry from the others.
  • The log file continues to grow in size with each new entry. You can use the local management interface to control the size of this file.
