logging parameter

Posted by 2356 on 24-May-2018 11:39

log-manager does not have info if we can setup a specific time interval to trace back in time for a logs. Say after an event happened I can only trace back in time to 30 mins or an hour?

Appreciate your insight,

Win

Do you mean that data older than the (say) 30 minutes is discarded?

Yes, say it only captures data in specific period of time like 30 mins beyond that it discarded...

Sorry Win, I'm not sure I understand you.  Is this a possible bug or an enhancement request?

You mention "logging parameter".  Which parameter(s) are you referring to?

My apology, I am looking if there is parameter that only trace back events in logs update certain period of time like 30 mins?

The challenge is that the log-manager – and most logging solutions - writes to file pretty much immediately. I don’t believe that any past events are held for any time.

Depending on OpenEdge version and the type of logs you're referring to (client logs, app server logs, database logs), there are some parameters available for archiving/truncating logs after a certain period of time or once the file reaches a defined threshold size.  But I don't think you'll find anything that does this after a period as short as thirty minutes.
