djarty

Hello!

Got the very big log files in tomcat/logs/

Inside Something like:

.............

Hi! Its looks like fight with log size but not with source of problem

I figure out something about solrcore.properties and

alfresco.cron=0/15 * * * * ? *

inside ... may be need to make more than 15 sec.

But i think better way suppress exactly this solr log messg about datascan..

So how to unlog this mess but continue to log another one?

cesarista

Hi:

You may increase SOLR cronjob, but this would imply that your document indexes are not complete or consistent during at least this time (15s). This cronjob is run for indexing (asyncronously) last transactions created in Alfresco.

So how to suppress exactly this "GET /alfresco/service/api/solr/transactions?... log strings (in localhost_access_log...txt)

Also anyway - some problem exists.

In one second - ~50 requests and another 50 next second step by step. so this request don't run every 15 sec.. its run all the time after start alfresco (even dont login and do nothing)

djarty

Looking for localhost_access_log...txt

And see

From start using alfresco it was 10-20 requests every 15 sec

Now its more than 100-200 requests and looks like its not enough time to get answer or something and must to start next requests

Think (may be wrong) something related with "POST /alfresco/service/api/solr/modelsdiff HTTP/1.1" 200 37

Also looking on CPU load .. every 15 sec like a pulsar - maximum CPU load..

If not possible to decrease GET requests count.. I hope possible not write all of them into log file and dont make iotop ...

P.S. now just use Cesar recommendation and turn off local access log via server.xml

But many Get requests and CPU load in this time looking not good, need tune.

Greetings, I am currently having the same problem. I noticed when I saw that the hard disk of the server was full, when I checked I noticed that it had files logs with a weight of more than 2GB.

I have not found a solution to my problem yet.

cesarista

Check the above link Oscar.

Probably you need to purge some logs under tomcat/logs or deactivate localhost-access logs in tomcat configuration.

Hello,

it is 2022 and I still run in this issue with Alfresco 7.1.1 and Search Service 2.0.2

localhost_access.log is growing and growing. It seems Search Service repeatedly asks Alfresco for the same transactions.

Does anyone found a solution?

angelborroy

I guess that @cesarista included the right link to change that default configuration:

https://www.zylk.net/en/web-2-0/blog/-/blogs/simple-tips-about-alfresco-logs

4. Disable Tomcat localhost logs (localhost_access_log*)

Sometimes it is desired to disable localhost_access_log* logs. For this, you should comment the valve part in server.xml config

$ vim $ALF_HOME/tomcat/conf/server.xml

<!--
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
               prefix="localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt"
               pattern="%h %l %u %t &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" />
-->

(and restart Alfresco Service)

Did you try this approach?

n-schwalbe

No, I have not. But I thought more of a solution that not just disable or clean the logs but solves the actual problem of the repeated requests from the search service.

But if there is no other solution than I will clean the logs periodically.
