Hi, Ignition V7.5.4 I thought that settings of logfile max size was in ignition.conf… The default rollover settings is 10m but I’ve a logs.bin file 2gb+ and still growing. Any idea ? ---

Those settings control the size and rollover of the text-based wrapper.log files… logs.bin.gz is supposed to be fixed at 20mb max. I’ve never seen it grow unbounded before… interesting. ---

No news. Never seen this problem with anyone else, either. Can you tell me a little more about your setup? OS version? Language settings? I donno… something… ---

Hi Kevin, On a XP machine with 7.5.8 (b1410) and Java 1.7.0\_17, here is what I do : - stop ignition gateway service - edit ignition.conf and modify “wrapper.logfile.maxsize=10m” to “wrapper.logfile.maxsize=10k” (just for test purpose) - delete all files in \Ignition\logs - delete .ignition in user folder - restart the gateway As a result, - logs.bin comes back immediately to its previous state (on my testing machine 20M, can’t do it on the field machine at this time but logs.bin is 1500M) - wrapper.log has the size of the configuration in ignition.conf - several wrapper.log.# are created up to the max value (5) in the ignition.conf file. Hope this help… ---

We can’t replicate this. The settings in ignition.conf don’t have an effect on the binary log - it’s hardcoded to be 20mb max. If you delete the large logs.bin file does it come back and grow unlimited in size still?
