Guardium Appliance Syslog /var/log/messages Stopped Rotating After Applying V9 GPU300

Troubleshooting


Problem

In IBM InfoSphere Guardium, after applying V9 GPU300, log rotation set using the CLI command "support logrotate message" is no longer working and the /var/log/messages file grows very large and may fill up disk space.

Cause

The logrotate configuration file was overwritten after applying V9 GPU300, so the previous configuration is lost.

Resolving The Problem

Use CLI command "support logrotate message" again to reset the logrotate configuration for /var/log/messages(syslog).

E.g. support logrotate message daily 3

Note: This problem only exists in V9 GPU300. For the latest V9 GPU500, the logrotation configuration will not be overwritten.
