Modifying the purge policy for log messages

Log messages that are older than 30 days are automatically purged from the database. You can use the configuration settings for Logging Daemon to change the maximum age for log messages.

NOTE: You can also manually delete the log messages by using the Purge Logs method available on the View Logs page. For more information, see Manually purging the log messages.
To modify the purge policy for logs:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the Configuration page, click Server Settings.
3
Under Services, click Logging Daemon. In the Logging Daemon dialog box, configure the following settings.

Auto-purge method

By default, the Auto-purge method is set to “Exceeds log age.” Use this setting to delete logs that are older than a specified number of days.

To disable automatic purging of log files, set the Auto-purge method to “None.”

NOTE: Log messages can consume a considerable amount of disk space. Therefore, periodic purging of the log messages is necessary. If automatic purging is disabled, use the Purge method available on the View Logs page to manually delete the log messages at regular intervals.

Auto-purge entries that are older than

When the Auto-purge method is set to “Exceeds log age,” use this setting to specify the maximum age for logs. The log age is specified in number of days. The default value is 30 days.

Table 134. Additional settings for Logging Daemon
Setting
Description

Message Response Interval

This setting determines the amount of time the NetVault Backup WebUI waits for the Logging Daemon to send all log messages before displaying a progress dialog box. The dialog box displays the number of log messages loaded against the total number of log messages. If the response is delayed, you can cancel the operation by clicking Cancel on the progress dialog box.

The default response time for the Logging Daemon is 256 milliseconds. To change default setting, type or select a new value. The minimum value can be 100 milliseconds.

If the NetVault Backup WebUI receives all log messages within the specified interval, the progress dialog box is not displayed (for example, if there are only a few log messages, the dialog box is not displayed).

Outgoing message bundle size

To improve performance, the logging daemon sends messages in bundles. Each bundle contains 64 messages by default. To change the number of messages per bundle, type or select the bundle size in Outgoing Message Bundle Size.

Minimum time between progress updates

By default, the progress dialog box is refreshed every 256 milliseconds. To change the refresh rate, type or select the time interval.

Minimum warning level to send to system log

By default, NetVault Backups sends log messages with warning code 64 and above to the OS. You can view these messages from the Event Viewer (on Windows) or syslog (on Linux and UNIX).

To change the severity level of messages that NetVault Backup sends to the OS, specify the warning level code in the Minimum warning level to send to system log box. The following list provides the warning codes and the corresponding severity level of the messages:

•
112: Severe errors
•
96: Severe errors and errors
•
80: Severe errors, errors and warnings
•
64: Severe errors, errors, warnings, and startup messages
•
48: Severe errors, errors, warnings, startup messages, and job messages
•
32: Severe errors, errors, warnings, startup messages, job messages, and informational messages
•
16: Severe errors, errors, warnings, startup messages, job messages, informational messages, and background messages
•
0: All messages

About Media Manager

The Media Manager process (nvmedmgr) runs on the NetVault Backup Server.

This process manages the Media Database, which contains information about the media contents and online backup savesets. The Media Manager also stores and manages the device configuration details. It manages the backup devices through the Device Manager processes. The Media Manager issues high-level instructions for loading and unloading media; the Device Manager processes carry out these instructions. The Media Manager controls the selection of device and media for a job according to the media requests submitted by the Job Manager.

You can modify the Media Manager settings from the Change Settings page.

 
* 
NOTE: You must restart the NetVault Backup Service to apply any changes to the Media Manager settings.
