Does SAP increase SM50 ... -> trace level automatically?

[former_member211576]

Hi experts,

   Does SAP increase SM50 ... -> trace level automatically? I find file system is full in application server from time to time and I find trace level increases to 2 from default: 1. Why? How do I prevent from reoccurring?

Hi Dennis,

The SM50 log does not save in application server. as it is the snapshot only. The Sm20 audit log save in application server file level. Please check it. And let us know which folder increased rapidly. If it is cause of SM20,,, then you can archive these folders.

Please let me know the folder name which size is so big.

Thanks

Hi Asaduzzaman,

   As you see in the screenshot, sometimes I find dev_trace file can grow up to 8GB per file. I have to clean up manually from time to time. Does it not cause by trace level?

Hello

These files are work process trace files, this has nothing to do with the system log.

You can restrict these file growth using instance parameter rdisp/TRACE_LOGGING as stated in the here under note.

Check also the value of instance parameter rdisp/TRACE as stated in note 112 - Trace and error information in the "dev_" files

How can I prevent trace files that are increasing in size from filling the hard disk and causing the system to shut down?

- Reset the trace files (as described as Section 1 of note 532918).

- Set the "rdisp/TRACE_LOGGING = on, 10 m" profile parameter
