2.4.6 The number of log files that can be monitored

In Windows or UNIX, estimate the number of log files that can be monitored as follows.

In Windows:

The maximum number of log files that can be monitored is given by the following equation:

Legend:

a: Total number of log files monitored (including files monitored by multiple traps)

b: Total number of log files monitored by a log file monitoring job executed in JP1/AJS (including files monitored by multiple traps)

m: Number of jevlogstart command executions

n: Number of log file monitoring jobs executed in JP1/AJS

In UNIX:

A maximum of 100 files can be monitored by one log file trap. However, the maximum number that can be monitored on a specific UNIX system depends on a setting in the kernel parameters (maximum number of open files).
