This is in production environment where the no. of hits to Oracle Internet Directory will be huge every day and hence the logs OID are getting updated drastically and hence occupying lot of space.<\/p>\n<p>So, I just wanted to reduce\/disable the logging level completely. I followed the below steps to achieve it.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, we need to check the existing logging level as shown in below screenshot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/index.php\/2011\/06\/22\/how-to-reduce-the-logging-level-in-oracle-internet-directory\/2551\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2551\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/11.GIF\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The debug level is described with the attribute orcldedebugflag. If the output of the above command is non-zero then logging is enabled. Next step is to create an ldif file to set this attribute with 0 value as shown in below screenshot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/index.php\/2011\/06\/22\/how-to-reduce-the-logging-level-in-oracle-internet-directory\/2552\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2552\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/21.GIF\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have named it as orcldebugoff.ldif. We need to run ldapmodify command to change this entry in the root DSE as shown below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/index.php\/2011\/06\/22\/how-to-reduce-the-logging-level-in-oracle-internet-directory\/2553\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2553\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/31.GIF\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Perform a basic check whether this flag value is set to 0 by using ldapsearch as shown below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/index.php\/2011\/06\/22\/how-to-reduce-the-logging-level-in-oracle-internet-directory\/2556\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2556\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/6.GIF\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This means that debug flag is set to 0 in the root DSE. Now we would need to make OID instances to consume this flag. oidctl process has to be stopped as shown below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/index.php\/2011\/06\/22\/how-to-reduce-the-logging-level-in-oracle-internet-directory\/2554\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2554\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/41.GIF\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Start the oidctl process as shown below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/index.php\/2011\/06\/22\/how-to-reduce-the-logging-level-in-oracle-internet-directory\/2555\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2555\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/5.GIF\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it. Now I did not see logs generating for ldap operations. There are different debug level operations that can be set depending upon requirement, to know more about it, check this metalink note <font face=\"helvetica\"><strong>397821.1.\u00a0<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong>Helpful Docs<\/strong>: <font face=\"helvetica\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"helvetica\"><strong>Metalink note 232666.1<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/index.php\/2011\/06\/22\/how-to-reduce-the-logging-level-in-oracle-internet-directory\/2553\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2553\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/index.php\/2011\/06\/22\/how-to-reduce-the-logging-level-in-oracle-internet-directory\/2552\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2552\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineappsdba.com\/index.php\/2011\/06\/22\/how-to-reduce-the-logging-level-in-oracle-internet-directory\/2551\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2551\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am talking about a small but important feature in Oracle Internet Directory 10.1.4.3, it is Logging.
