3.4.4 Estimating the size of trace log files for JP1/AJS3 Console

(1) Estimating the size of the trace log file for JP1/AJS3 Console Manager

The settings for the JP1/AJS3 Console Manager trace log file in the initial status are as follows:

• Storage location

  For Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008, if the installation folder is in the default folder or a folder protected by the system:

  %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Hitachi\JP1\JP1_DEFAULT\JP1AJS2CM\log\tracelog.cm

  The default %ALLUSERSPROFILE% value is system-drive\ProgramData.

  A folder protected by the system is the path to a folder in any of the following:

  - system-drive\Windows

  - system-drive\Program Files

  - system-drive\Program Files (x86) (for 64-bit Windows)

  For Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008 in which an installation folder other than the above is used:

  JP1/AJS3-Console-installation-folder^#\log\tracelog.cm

  The file is installed at the following location as the default:

  C:\Program Files\HITACHI\JP1AJS2CM

  In Windows Server 2003:

  JP1/AJS3-Console-installation-folder^#\log\tracelog.cm

  The file is installed at the following location as the default:

  C:\Program Files\HITACHI\JP1AJS2CM

  In UNIX:

  /var/opt/jp1ajs2cm/log/tracelog.cm

• Size

  Approximately 3 megabytes (3,072 kilobytes)

The capacity required for the trace log file differs greatly depending on the details of the definitions, the nature of the operations, and whether or not errors are encountered. Estimate an appropriate capacity for the trace log file and expand the current capacity if necessary.

The formula for estimating the size of the trace log file is as follows.

Appropriate-trace-log-file-capacity (units: kilobytes) =

(5.0 + number-of-monitoring-destination-hosts-per-root-business-scope (for-each-JP1-user) x 0.5)

x number-of-logins-from-the-occurrence-of-an-error-to-collection-of-data

Example: Saving a trace log for a 30-day period (for the physical host only)

• A single JP1 user monitors applications at 30 target hosts.

• There are 10 logins per day.

  Appropriate trace log file capacity = (5.0+30 x 0.5) x (10 x 30) = 6,000 kilobytes

(2) Estimating the size of the trace log file for JP1/AJS3 Console Agent

The settings for the JP1/AJS3 Console Agent trace log file in the initial status are as follows:

• Storage location

  For Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008, if the installation folder is in the default folder or a folder protected by the system:

  %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Hitachi\JP1\JP1_DEFAULT\JP1AJS2\log\tracelog.ca

  The default %ALLUSERSPROFILE% value is system-drive\ProgramData.

  A folder protected by the system is the path to a folder in any of the following:

  - system-drive\Windows

  - system-drive\Program Files

  - system-drive\Program Files (x86) (for 64-bit Windows)

  For Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008 in which an installation folder other than the above is used:

  JP1/AJS3-Manager-installation-folder\log\tracelog.ca

  In Windows Server 2003:

  JP1/AJS3-Manager-installation-folder\log\tracelog.ca

  In UNIX:

  /var/opt/jp1ajs2/log/tracelog.ca

• Size

  Approximately 3 megabytes (3,072 kilobytes)

The capacity required for the trace log file differs greatly depending on the details of the definitions, the nature of the operations, and whether or not errors are encountered. Estimate an appropriate capacity for the trace log file and expand the current capacity if necessary.

The formula for estimating the size of the trace log file is as follows.

Appropriate-trace-log-file-capacity (units: kilobytes) =

(2.0 + (0.1 + (0.04 x number-of-monitored-scheduler-services))

x (time-from-the-occurrence-of-an-error-to-collection-of-data (units: seconds) / monitoring-interval (units: seconds)))

x number-of-monitored-JP1/AJS3-Console-View-hosts

Example: Saving a trace log for a 10-day period (for the physical host only)

• Applications are monitored on the host using five JP1/AJS3 Console View hosts

• Twenty scheduler services are monitored.

• The monitoring interval is 300 seconds.

  Appropriate trace log file capacity = (2.0 + (0.1 + (0.04 x 20)) x (864,000 / 300)) x 5 = 12,970 kilobytes
