You can use the instructions provided here to modify Lost and found log settings.

Procedure

  1. Expand Logs in the navigation area, click Modify log settings.
  2. Click Lost and found log.
    Note:
    • The directory administrator and administrative group members are the only users who can access this panel.
    • On some platforms, logging is provided through standard operating system logging mechanisms. On these platforms, this panel cannot be used to configure or view directory server logs. For example, on an OS/400® platform, the directory server job log contains all server messages. However, in the case of i5/OS™ directory server version 6.1 and above, the Lost and found log panel is displayed and logs related to errors that occur as a result of a replication conflict can be recorded in the Lost and found log.
    • If you have the Log Management Tool installed, you can set the Log size threshold, Maximum log archives, and Log archive path values. Values entered into these fields will not take effect if the Log Management Tool is not installed. See the Troubleshooting and support section of the IBM® Verify Directory documentation for more information about the Log Management Tool.
  3. Enter the path and file name for the error log. Ensure that the file exists on the ldap server and that the path is valid. See Default log paths for default log paths.Note: If you specify a file that is not an acceptable file name (for example, invalid syntax or if the server does not have the rights to create and/or modify the file), the attempt fails with the following error: LDAP Server is unwilling to perform the operation.
  4. Select the Log members for group entries involved in a conflict check box to log the members of group entries into lost and found log during replication conflict resolution. The "ibm-slapdLogMembers" attribute in the entry "cn=Replication, cn=Log Management, cn=Configuration" is associated with this control. The group members’ cache should be enabled for performance reasons when group member entries are required to be logged in the lost and found log. If groups have very large number of member entries, it is advisable to disable logging of all members.Note: The attribute ibm-slapdLogMembers is significant only in the case of "cn=Replication, cn=Log Management, cn=Configuration" entry. For all other log settings, the ibm-slapdLogMembers attribute remains insignificant.
  5. Under Log size threshold (MB) select the first radio button and enter the maximum log size in Megabytes. If you do not want to limit log size, select the Unlimited radio button instead.
  6. Under Maximum log archives, select one of the following options:
    • If you want to specify a maximum number of archived logs, select the radio button with an edit window next to it. Enter the maximum number of archives you want to save. One archived log is an earlier log that reached its size threshold.
    • If you do not want to archive logs, select No archives.
    • If you do not want to limit the number of archived logs, select Unlimited.
  7. Under Log archive path, do one of the following steps:
    • If you want to specify the path where archives are kept, select the radio button with an edit window next to it and enter the required path.
    • If you want to keep the archives in the directory where the log file is located, select the Same directory as log file radio button.
  8. Under Log Schedule, do the following steps:
    1. Specify the frequency between two cycles of Event by selecting an item from the Select frequency check box.
    2. Specify the start date and start time for Event in the Starting on fields. You can also click the calendar icon to specify the start date. The start time should be in the following format: 12:30:00 PM.
  9. Click Apply to apply your changes and continue working with logs, or click OK to save your changes and to return to the IBM Verify Directory Web Administration Introduction panel. Click Cancel to return to the IBM Verify Directory Web Administration Introduction panel without saving any changes.
