Archiving Log Files
You can archive the access and error log files and have the server create new
ones.
When you archive log files, the server renames the current log files and then
creates new log files with the original names. You can back up or archive, or
delete, the old log files, which are saved as the original filename followed by
the date and time the file was rotated. For example, ACCESS might become
ACCESS.24APR-04AM
You can archive log files immediately or have the server archive log files at a
specific time on specific days. This information is stored in /NOVONYX/
SUITESPOT/https-servername/LOGS.
Before running the log analyzer, you should archive the server logs.
1 From the Web Manager home page, click Enterprise Web Server
servername > Server Status > Archive Log.
The Archive Log Files form appears.
2 Do one of the following:
 To rotate the log files immediately, click Archive.
 To archive at specific times on specific days, click Rotate Log At,
select a time from the drop-down menu, and check the days for
archiving to occur.
3 Click OK.
Monitoring Current Web Server Activity
You can monitor your server’s usage with the Monitor Current Activity page.
You can see how many requests your server is handling and how it is handling
these requests. If the interactive server monitor reports that the server is
handling a large number of requests, you might need to adjust the server
configuration or the system’s network kernel to accommodate the requests.
1 From the Web Manager home page, click Enterprise Web Server
servername > Server Status > Monitor Current Activity.
2 Click Monitor Server Activity on Port port_number.
