Configuring the Number and Size of Address-Assignment Pool Processes Log Files

By default, when the trace file reaches 128 kilobytes (KB) in size, it is renamed filename.0, then filename.1, and so on, until there are 3 trace files. Then the oldest trace file (filename.2) is overwritten.

You can configure the limits on the number and size of trace files by including the following statement at the [edit system processes general-authentication-service traceoptions] hierarchy level:



[edit system processes general-authentication-service traceoptions]
file files number size size;

For example, set the maximum file size to 2 MB, and the maximum number of files to 20. When the file that receives the output of the tracing operation (filename) reaches 2 MB, filename is renamed filename.0, and a new file called filename is created. When the new filename reaches 2 MB, filename.0 is renamed filename.1 and filename is renamed filename.0. This process repeats until there are 20 trace files. Then the oldest file (filename.19) is overwritten by the newest file (filename.0).

The number of files can be from 2 through 1000 files. The file size of each file can be from 10 KB through 1 gigabyte (GB).
