Determining maximum size of a trace log
Each entry that is made to a trace log file created that uses a destination of
FILE, TEXTFILE, or UTF8FILE is an average of 200
bytes in size.
The maximum size of a log file, in bytes, can be estimated as follows:
200 × (Number of log files) × (Number of entries per log file)For example, given a specification of:
*:*.9:TEXTFILE.10.10000:C:/PROGRA~1/Tivoli/POLICY~1/log/trace__%ld.log200 × 10 × 10000) or 20,000,000 bytes.Trace entries that are written in XML log format are an average of 500 bytes in size, thus for a
specification of:
*:*.9:XMLFILE.10.10000:/var/dbug20031028A/trace__%ld.xml500 × 10 × 10000) or 50,000,000 bytes.
