Default Value
0
Syntax
Integer
Example
nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationsynchour: 23
2.3.1.12. nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationsyncmin (Access Log Rotation Sync Minute)
This attribute sets the minute of the day for rotating access logs. This attribute must be used in
conjunction with nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationsync-enabled and nsslapd-accesslog-
logrotationsynchour attributes.
Parameter

Example
nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationsyncmin: 30
2.3.1.13. nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtime (Access Log Rotation Time)
This attribute sets the time between access log file rotations. The access log is rotated when this time
interval is up, regardless of the current size of the access log. This attribute supplies only the number of
units. The units (day, week, month, and so forth) are given by the nsslapd-accesslog-
logrotationtimeunit attribute.
Although it is not recommended for performance reasons to specify no log rotation since the log grows
indefinitely, there are two ways of specifying this. Either set the nsslapd-accesslog-maxlogsperdir
attribute value to 1 or set the nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtime attribute to -1. The server
checks the nsslapd-accesslog-maxlogsperdir attribute first, and, if this attribute value is larger than
1, the server then checks the nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtime attribute. See
“nsslapd-accesslog-maxlogsperdir (Access Log Maximum Number of Log Files)”
Parameter
Description
Entry DN
cn=config
Valid Range
-1 | 1 to the maximum 32 bit integer value
(2147483647), where a value of -1 means that
the time between access log file rotation is
unlimited.
Default Value
1
Syntax
Integer
Example
nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtime: 100
2.3.1.14 . nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtimeunit (Access Log Rotation Time Unit)
This attribute sets the units for the nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtime attribute.
Parameter
Description
Entry DN
cn=config
Valid Values
month | week | day | hour | minute
Default Value
day
Syntax
DirectoryString
Example
nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtimeunit: week
2.3.1.15. nsslapd-accesslog-maxlogsize (Access Log Maximum Log Size)
This attribute sets the maximum access log size in megabytes. When this value is reached, the access
log is rotated. That means the server starts writing log information to a new log file. If the nsslapd-
accesslog-maxlogsperdir attribute is set to 1, the server ignores this attribute.
When setting a maximum log size, consider the total number of log files that can be created due to log
file rotation. Also, remember that there are three different log files (access log, audit log, and error log)
maintained by the Directory Server, each of which consumes disk space. Compare these considerations
to the total amount of disk space for the access log.
