Huge log file

[madpatrick]

Hello

i'm running UMS 2.25(older version was the same) on my LInux Centos distro and noticed that the log file grow excesively
The debug.log is more then 900 MB after 1 day.
SInce it is to big i can not read the log-file what is causing this.

What can be the problem and how can reduces the size. Now i'm restarting UMS every day with a cronjob.

thanks

Start UMS, wait until log has 10MB in short time, stop UMS. Check what is wrong in debug.log.
Something is heavily spamming to log so it will be easy to find it.
Also check what debug level is used in "logback.xml":

Code: Select all

Available levels: ALL < TRACE < DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR < OFF
<root level="DEBUG">

I've set <ROOT LEVEL> to INFO and will see what this will do.

the 10MB log file option does not work. UMS won't start then.

I see this in the log file continuesly (or simulair)

Code: Select all

the 10MB log file option does not work. UMS won't start then.

You can't set size of debug.log file
I only reacted on your 600MB log which can't be uploaded with this that don't wait until log is so huge and close UMS earlier so log is only e.g. 5MB in size which can be easily ZIPped and uploaded
I am WIN guy so don't understand Linux/Unix well but it seems your mplayer/mencoder is broken or badly installed?
Maybe someone will guide you how to fix it but to be correct I don't know if Linux package includes MEncoder/Mplayer/MediaInfo/FFmpeg etc. as on WIN but I suppose not and you need to install right versions separately?

I also use CentOS, and I can say my log file never exceeds a few MB at most. As per that section you posted, it does appear that mplayer is not installed on your system.
