rotatelog
This job executes the idmlogsvc -rotatelog
command. This command performs a backup and rotation of the Logs directory. That is, it appends .<yyyy>-<mm>-<dd>-<hhmmss>.<SerialNo>
to the old directory name and creates a new directory with the original name. See About the Bravura Security Fabric Log for more information about log files.
This job only rotates the logs on the Bravura Security Fabric server. Proxy logs are rotated by the rotatelog-proxy scheduled job.
By default, this job is scheduled to run daily at 12:30 am on all Bravura Security Fabric servers. It is automatically created when you install Bravura Security Fabric . If scheduled rotation fails, an email is sent to the Bravura Security Fabric administrator. The job may fail if another program has opened the log file.
You cannot delete this job, nor can you modify the Job to run or Directory to run job in settings.
In addition to the fields described in Adding new jobs and Selecting a server to run a job on , the following fields appear on the schedule programs page for the rotatelog
job:
Number of rounds to keep – You can change the number of copies to keep by modifying this setting (default is 7).
Directory to be rotated – You can view, but you cannot modify this field. Its value is determined by the PSTempDir setting (Maintenance > Options).
