Rotation of Log Files
On C-series platforms, log files that contain entries are rotated daily when other daily system tasks run on the system. The system retails 5 log files for a component before overwriting the oldest file.
When a new log file is opened to replace a file from the previous day that contains content, a number (1-4) is appended to the name of the older file. For example, sae_debug.log.4 would be the oldest file in the rotation, sae_debug.log.1 would be the newest file in the rotation; sae_debug.log would be the active log file for SAE.
On C-series platforms, the software compresses log files and appends the .gz suffix; for example, sae_debug.log.4.gz. Log files are stored in the /opt/UMC/component-name/var/log directory; for example, /opt/UMC/sae/var/log.
If you are using the SRC software on a Solaris platform, you can use logadm on Solaris version 9 or greater, or you can install the log rotate application from the following Web site:
