Incorrect logging of Infrastructure Management server logs

Scenario: The ajp.log is logging messages into the Apache logs.

Reason: This issue occurs if you configured automatic rolling of Infrastructure logs in an earlier release. For more information, see Infrastructure-Management-server-logs-are-not-rolling-automatically-causing-performance-issues.

Workaround: You need to individually configure each of the Apache log files for automatic rolling. To do this, perform the following steps.

1. Change the httpd-proxy.conf file:

   1. Edit the httpd-proxy.conf file located at:

   • 
     
     • (Windows) <InfrastructureManagement_Install_Location>\pw\apache\conf\extra\
     • (Linux) <InfrastructureManagement_Install_Location>/pw/apache/conf/extra/

   1. In the first line, at the top, ensure that the ajp.log is configured to store a maximum of 10 files (before rolling over logs) and upto a maximum size of 10 MB (after which a new file must be created), if this is not already done.

   2. Delete lines 2-7 (see the following example) and save the file.

      CustomLog "|/usr/pw/apache/bin/rotatelogs -n 10 logs/access.log 10M" combined

      CustomLog "|/usr/pw/apache/bin/rotatelogs -n 10 logs/deflate.log 10M" combined

      CustomLog "|/usr/pw/apache/bin/rotatelogs -n 10 logs/error.log 10M" combined

      CustomLog "|/usr/pw/apache/bin/rotatelogs -n 10 logs/error_log 10M" combined

      CustomLog "|/usr/pw/apache/bin/rotatelogs -n 10 logs/install.log 10M" combined

      CustomLog "|/usr/pw/apache/bin/rotatelogs -n 10 logs/ssl_request_log 10M" combined

2. Change the httpd.conf file:

   1. Edit the httpd.conf file located at:

   • 
     
     • (Windows) <InfrastructureManagement_Install_Location>\pw\apache\conf
     • (Linux) <InfrastructureManagement_Install_Location>/pw/apache/conf

   1. Locate the deflate.log line, for example, CustomLog logs/deflate.log deflate env=!image-request and replace it with:
      
      • (Windows) CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs.exe -n 10 logs/deflate.log 10M" deflate env=!image-request
      • (Linux) CustomLog "|/usr/pw/apache/bin/rotatelogs -n 10 logs/deflate.log 10M" deflate env=!image-request
   2. Locate the access.log line, for example, CustomLog logs/access_log common and replace it with:
      
      • (Windows) CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs.exe -n 10 logs/access.log 10M" common
      • (Linux) CustomLog "|/usr/pw/apache/bin/rotatelogs -n 10 logs/access_log 10M" common
   3. Save the file.
3. Change the httpd-ssl.conf file:
   1. Edit the httpd-ssl.conf file located at:
      
      • (Windows) <InfrastructureManagement_Install_Location>\pw\apache\conf\extra\
      • (Linux) <InfrastructureManagement_Install_Location>/pw/apache/conf/extra/
   2. Locate the error.log line, for example, ErrorLog /usr/pw/apache/logs/error_log, and after this line, add the following line:
      • (Windows) CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs.exe -n 10 logs/error_log 10M" combined
      • (Linux) CustomLog "|/usr/pw/apache/bin/rotatelogs -n 10 /usr/pw/apache/logs/error_log 10M" combined
   3. Locate the ssl_request_log, for example, CustomLog "C:\auto_product\tsim\pw\apache\logs\ssl_request_log" and replace it with the following line on both Windows and Linux:
      CustomLog "|/usr/pw/apache/bin/rotatelogs -n 10 logs/ssl_request_log 10M" combined
   4. Save the file.
