Hi, Does any one have a workaround / solution to reducing the size of the audit jornal file. It seems that set audit/server=new_log will allocate the biggest file that it ever use. The problem is that one of my customer is using 600,000 thousand block and creating a new file increase the usage rather than release disk space because it create a new file of 600,000 blocks on top of the current existing Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR] SECURITY.AUDIT$JOURNAL;4 1/14632 <--- how to reduce this initial allocation Regards, YongLee

YongLee,
See VMSNOTES_V11 note 2139 and VMSNOTES_V10 1643
2139.1>$ SET AUDIT /JOURNAL=SECURITY /THRESHOLD=WARN=200
Failing that, I think you can also do it by stopping the audit servers
across the cluster, deleting VMS$AUDIT_SERVER.DAT and any journal files,
then restarting audit servers. Think carefully before doing this as you
will lose any non default security settings (use SHOW AUDIT/ALL to find
any customised settings).

Hi YongLee, I have found doing $ set audit/journal/destination=sys$manager:security.audit$journal causes the audit server to create a new version of the journal file. The old version (ie sys$manager:security.audit$journal;-1) can then be saved somewhere out of the way and its space reclaimed. I've only done this on a standalone node; I don't know if it will work for a cluster or if there is some extra magic incantation needed in that case. Ian Brockbank | |||||
