Closed: wontfix 5 years ago by mreynolds. Opened 5 years ago by mreynolds.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1643587

Description of problem:
DS default of not rotating error log file can lead to filling up /var
filesystem with disastrous results


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds-base-1.3.7.5-25.el7_5.x86_64
389-ds-base-1.3.6.1-16.el7.x86_64
389-ds-base-1.3.6.1-28.el7


How reproducible:
consistent


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IPA
2. Have default of "nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdir: 1"


Actual results:
Large log files if many errors are reported, leading to possible crashes when
/var fills up


Expected results:
Either truncation of errorlog file at "nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsize: 100" or a
default of at least 2 files for rotation.


Additional info:
1) Documentation of default:
   "3.1.1.90. nsslapd-errorlog-maxlogsperdir (Maximum Number of Error Log
Files)"

ml/configuration_command_and_file_reference/core_server_configuration_reference
#cnconfig-nsslapd_errorlog_maxlogsperdir_Maximum_Number_of_Error_Log_Files

   "This attribute sets the total number of error logs that can be contained in
the directory where the error log is stored. ... The default is 1 log. If this
default is accepted, the server does not rotate the log, and it grows
indefinitely."
