LMS 2.5 syslog

Hi guys,

I have some problems with my syslog in LMS 2.5. I am running out of disk space because of syslog messages and also my server is slowing down gradually.

I've created a job to purge the syslog messages and it looks like it is not working. my syslog.log is 30GB. I wanted to purge it manually but i couldn't open the file to deleted some messages. (error message says another program is using the file)

what can i do pls?

Make sure you stop the following processes via a pdterm command first:

SyslogAnalyzer

SyslogCollector

Also, on Windows make sure the common services syslog service is stopped

You may want to look into using logrot to rotate this log file. It comes included with LMS 2.5.x

Excellent!!! Thank you :-)
