This article describes how to change NetScaler newnslog compression log size and log file numbers.

Instructions

Complete the following steps to change NetScaler newnslog compression log size and log file numbers:

1. Change the LOGSIZE to the desired file size and LOGFILECNT to the desired file number using the following commands:

   # vi /var/nslog/nsagg.conf 
   COMMAND=START
   LOGSIZE=600m  
   LOGFILECNT=200    
   LOGTIME=172800 

   Note: For NetScaler MPX, the default logsize is 600m and logfilecnt is 200. For NetScaler VPX, the default logsize is 100m and logfilecnt is 100.

2. Modify /netscaler/nslog.sh file correspondingly.
   Change the NSLOG_SIZE to be the same as LOGSIZE and NSLOG_END_FILENO to be the same as LOGFILECNT in nsagg.conf:

   if [ $NSVPX -ge 1 ]
   then
   # On VPX we have less memory and hard disk space
   NSLOG_SIZE=100m
   NSLOG_END_FILENO=100
   else
   NSLOG_SIZE=600m # Is 1Gb really too big?  
   NSLOG_END_FILENO=200
   fi
   DEFAULT_SIZE_TO_DELETE=4100000 # leave just over 4GB for core files (1k blocks)
   [ -f $NSCONFIG/.developer ] && DEFAULT_SIZE_TO_DELETE=10000
   SIZE_TO_DELETE=$DEFAULT_SIZE_TO_DELETE
   LOGCONF=${NSLOG_DIR}/nsagg.conf

3. Restart nsaggregatord:

   #killall -USR1 nsaggregatord
