oblog.log not rotating and it is filling /var/log

The oblog.log is filling up the /var/log. The F5 is not rotating the logs and when I look at the log it seems to be at the debug level. How do I set the logging level on the oblog.log?

  • Hi Jeff,

     

    What's in the log?

     

    Here are a few related links:

    Additional logging is done in /var/log/oblog.log. This file contains AccessGate logging which might be helpful in certain circumstances.

  • Thanks for the response Aaron!

     

    Here is the fix... I had to edit the following oblog file to change the "LOG_THRESHOLD_LEVEL" (line 45).

     

    /config/aaa/oam////oblix/config/oblog_config.xml

     

    It was set to "LOGLEVEL_DEBUG3" and I had to change it to "LOGLEVEL_WARNING". Then I had restart the eam service.

      Correct path is /config/aaa/oam/"partitionname"/"oamserver"/"accessgate"/oblix/config/oblog_config.xml
