Description

DAOS actions such as installation, DAOS estimator, tier migration, and enabling DAOS on a database produce log files that provide information about the number and size of externalized NLOs. With DAOS_INSTALL_LOG_DIR, the target directory of these logs can be set explicitly – typically on a separate logging partition outside the /data directory.
If the parameter is not set, Domino writes to the standard logging directory (IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT/).

Example configuration

DAOS_INSTALL_LOG_DIR=/local/notesdata/IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT/DAOS_LOGS

Notes & pitfalls

  • The directory must be writable by the Domino service account.
  • Complements DAOS_Base_Path, DAOS_DELETE_TIME, DAOSMGR_RESYNC_*.
  • During tier migrations, several GB of logs may be written here – monitor disk space.
  • Perform log rotation regularly via a script or logrotate tool.
  • The change takes effect after a server restart or a restart of the daosmgr task.
