Managing the Sametime C++ diagnostics files

April 18th, 2008 Posted in Sametime, Support Issues

In 7.5.1 and above, a new feature was added to manage the size of the various meeting diagnostics files.  This registry setting can be used to split C++ diagnostics into module specific files, and they will respect the size limit specified.

MaxLogSizeMb=dword:00000400
ModuleLogEnabled=dword:00000001
Enabled in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Sametime\MeetingServer\Diagnostics]

The example above enables the splitting of the modules, and will limit them to 1024mb each as defined by the MaxLogSizeMb parameter.  When the 1024mb limit is reached, the current file is renamed/backed up, and a new one created. The server will then keep the current and the immediate prior file.  Files older than that will be removed.

The summary.diag file can also be disabled altogether by setting the “SummaryLogEnabled” to 0. However this is not recommended as it does help with troubleshooting issues.
