Symptoms

The catalina.out file (/data01/avamar/var/dtlt/webapp_log/catalina.out or /space/avamar/var/dtlt/webapp_log/catalina.out) increases in size and does not rotate or compress. The /space partition or /data01 partition continues to decrease in available capacity.

Cause

Seen from Avamar version 19.9, the catalina.out file is not rotating or getting compressed. The file should be reviewed to see what is causing the growth.

Resolution

This workaround is to limit the size and the number of files that are kept: 1. Log in to the Avamar Utility Node as admin. 2. Elevate to root privilege. 3. Create the file /etc/logrotate.d/catalina: touch /etc/logrotate.d/catalina 4. Edit the file /etc/logrotate.d/catalina: vi /etc/logrotate.d/catalina Add the following (based on the mounted partition to the "catalina.out" file.) /data01/avamar/var/dtlt/webapp_log/catalina.out { copytruncate daily rotate 20 size 2G compress delaycompress missingok } -- Or -- /space/avamar/var/dtlt/webapp_log/catalina.out { copytruncate daily rotate 20 size 2G compress delaycompress missingok } The number of logs to rotate and the file size is up to the user. 20 files to rotate and 2GB as the file size to rotate was used in this example. 5. Test the configuration by running the following command: logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/catalina Note: The output of what has taken place after running the command.
