Hi All,
We had an issue in which the files in /var/mqsi/common/log kept on increasing and filesystems got full. We found that trace was enabled for a flow. So we disabled the trace . Now I would like to know if it is ok to delete the files under /var/mqsi/common/log ? Will it corrupt broker files in any way?
please help |

If there are large files related to a trace on a flow you can shrink them by:-
1) enable usertrace for the flow using the -r option on the changetrace command.
2) a second or so later, disable the usertrace.
That should shrink the files.
Personally, I wouldn't delete any files in that directory.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

| You can also adjust/help prevent the same problem re-occuring by using the -c flag on mqsichangetrace to limit the number of trace entries it pulls. |

| Thanks for the inputs. What about the files that already got created? Can we delete them? Is it ok to do that? |

Probably not.
The statement from smdavies99 to use the -r option will *reduce the size* of the files. |

I have ruthlessly deleted the log files out of /var/mqsi/common/log before when people have left on user trace and created humongous log files.
I haven't observed any adverse affects but YMMV.
You could always cat /dev/null > [huge log] to empty the file without actually deleting it. |
