17.3.4. Rotating Debug Logs

By default OpenAM does not rotate debug logs. To rotate debug logs, edit WEB-INF/classes/debugconfig.properties where OpenAM is deployed.

The debugconfig.properties file includes the following properties.

org.forgerock.openam.debug.prefix

This property specifies the debug log file prefix applied when OpenAM rotates a debug log file. The property has no default. It takes a string as the property value.

org.forgerock.openam.debug.suffix

This property specifies the debug log file suffix applied when OpenAM rotates a debug log file. The property takes a SimpleDateFormat string. The default is -MM.dd.yyyy-kk.mm.

org.forgerock.openam.debug.rotation

This property specifies an interval in minutes between debug log rotations. Set this to a value greater than zero to enable debug log rotation.

After you edit the debugconfig.properties file, you must restart OpenAM or the web container where it runs for the changes to take effect.
