About Domino log files
Domino Server has a computerized database of the automatic exclusion mechanism, which is controlled by Log = record in the notes.ini file. If your server does not have such a record of 7 days is used by default move apart, so you’ll always have an automated process transfers on the ground.I would also note that the deletion log running this option, in fact, all collected at the same time. If the retention period is set to 7 days, the Domino server will delete all log entries older than that.
The exclusion of stoppers, these deletions and then cleaned according to the formula for cleaning standard interval, what really makes things third. In this article I will add more to this debate: to look a little deeper at what causes the Domino database log for more details’, look at some information that is recorded, the NSF, then add a few ideas on how you can adjust its.
Useful information in Log.NSF
Firstly, how many of you are aware of all the usage data that is stored in the Log.NSF and how useful that can be? If you open a Log.NSF, you’ll see a set of views listed under Usage in the left menu pane. These give access to the Session and Activity documents, collectively referred to as Activity Trends. These are recorded automatically by the server.
Session documents are stored for each user session that occurred on the server. These show how long the session was, when it occurred, what databases were accessed, and the volume of data read and written. Activity documents are written once per day, one for each database on the server. These show the database size, percentage used, view and folder sizes, and activity summaries.
Most of the time you’ll not pay any attention to this data, and you’ll probably not need to. But this is, in itself, quite revealing, as it shows who is accessing the server, which databases they access, how long they stay attached, which are the largest and mots active databases, and so on.
This data can assist with a number of domain management tasks, such as:
- Which databases aren’t being accessed? Check the Usage/By Size view, and look for databases with no activity. Why is that?
- Which are the large databases? Again, Usage/By Size, and check the size column. Anyone with a 7Gb mail file?
- What servers are accessing this server? Look at Usage/By User. Any that you don’t expect to replicate with or otherwise access your server?
