Trace Output Settings

The following table contains the trace log file descriptions.


Caution

When you change either the Maximum No. of Files or the Maximum File Size settings in the Trace Configuration window, the system deletes all service log files except for the current file, that is, if the service is running; if the service has not been activated, the system deletes the files immediately after you activate the service. Before you change the Maximum No. of Files setting or the Maximum File Size setting, download and save the service log files to another server if you want to keep a record of the log files; to perform this task, use Trace and Log Central in Unity RTMT.

Trace Output Settings

Field

Description

Maximum number of files

This field specifies the total number of trace files for a given service.

Cisco Unified Serviceability automatically appends a sequence number to the filename to indicate which file it is, for example, cus299.txt. When the last file in the sequence is full, the trace data begins writing over the first file. The default varies by service.

Maximum file size (MB)

This field specifies the maximum size of the trace file in megabytes. The default varies by service.
