The default size of the Linux TARA server's logfile is 2GB. When this limit is reached, the TARA server saves the existing log as logfile.prev, then creates a new logfile before writing more log entries. Do not set the value greater than 2GB. Doing so can cause the TARA server to become unresponsive.
Adjust the logfile maximum length to a value less than 2GB by adding an entry within the [Defaults] stanza of the:
- /etc/opt/teradata/tara/defaults file (Linux)
- <install_path\teradata/tara\server\config\defaults file (Windows)
Example
Specify the file size in bytes:
filesize=numofbytes
For example, to set the log file size to exactly 500MB (500 * 1024), type:
filesize=524288000
