Log directory rotation

You can use the following command from the service directory to rotate the Logs directory defined by the PSTempDir system variable:

idmlogsvc -rotatelog [<N>]

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, up to a maximum of <N> copies (default is 7).

If the directory path set in the PsTempDir system variable (Maintenance > Options) ends with the instance name, the entire log folder will be rotated, creating new folders named after the instance. Otherwise, all files and folders contained inside PsTempDir will be non-recursively rotated, using their original names.

To perform a one time manual rotation of the log file directory, type:

idmlogsvc.exe -rotatelog

By default, the rotation method is set to using the last modified date of the folder/file. You can modify the rotation method by adding the following registry entry in:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bravura Security\Bravura Security Fabric\<instance>\idmlogsvc

Logs directory rotation is scheduled to occur nightly on the Bravura Security Fabric server. Logs on proxy servers are rotated if auto discovery is executed between +/-0.5 hours of the scheduled job. See About the Bravura Security Fabric Log for more information about log files.
