Automatic Database Log Purge
• TFA can automatically purge database logs
– OFF by default
– Except on a Domain Service Cluster (DSC),
which it is ON by default
• Turn auto purging on or off:
• Will remove logs older than 30 days
– configurable with:
• Purging runs every 60 minutes
– configurable with:
13
tfactl set manageLogsAutoPurge=<ON|OFF>
tfactl set manageLogsAutoPurgePolicyAge=<n><d|h>
tfactl set manageLogsAutoPurgeInterval=<minutes>

Manual Database Log Purge
• TFA can manage ADR log and trace files
– Show disk space usage of individual diagnostic destinations
– Purge these file types based on diagnostic location and or age:
• "ALERT“, "INCIDENT“, "TRACE“, "CDUMP“, "HM“, "UTSCDMP“, "LOG“
tfactl managelogs <options>
Runs as the ADR home
owner. So will only be able
to purge files this owner
has permission to delete
Option Description
–show usage Shows disk space usage per diagnostic directory for both GI and database logs
-show variation –older <n><m|h|d> Use to determine per directory disk space growth.
Shows the disk usage variation for the specified period per directory.
-purge –older <n><m|h|d> Remove all ADR files under the GI_BASE directory, which are older than the time specified
–gi Restrict command to only diagnostic files under the GI_BASE
–database [all | dbname] Restrict command to only diagnostic files under the database directory. Defaults to all,
alternatively specify a database name
-dryrun Use with –purge to estimate how many files will be affected and how much disk space will be
freed by a potential purge command.
May take a while for a
large number of files
14

tfactl managelogs –show usage tfactl managelogs –show variation –older <n><m|h|d>
Use -gi to only
show grid
infrastructure
Use –database to only
show database

tfactl managelogs –purge –older n<m|h|d> -dryrun tfactl managelogs –purge –older n<m|h|d>
Use –dryrun
for a “what if”

Disk Usage Snapshots
• TFA will track disk usage and record snapshots to:
– tfa/repository/suptools/<node>/managelogs/usage_snapshot/
• Snapshot happens every 60 minutes, configurable with:
• Disk usage monitoring is ON by default, configurable with:
17
tfactl set diskUsageMonInterval=<minutes>
tfactl set diskUsageMon=<ON|OFF>
