SizeToSplitDatabaseOn - System Parameter
The SizeToSplitDatabaseOn System Parameter defines the maximum allowed size for the online Log Database before Nodinite automatically creates a new online Log Database. The Logging Service can create new Log Databases as they grow either too old or too large. This ensures your logging infrastructure remains scalable and efficient, even as your data volumes increase.
At Nodinite, we recommend setting a generous value, such as 50GB to 100GB, depending on your environment. This is also the default suggestion in the Nodinite Install and Update Tool.
Important
If you log more data than you delete, you will eventually fill the Log Database and run out of disk space.
Nodinite is designed to handle large volumes of logged data with ease. The system automatically creates a new database as the old one becomes too large (or too old), ensuring uninterrupted operations and optimal performance.
| System Parameter Name | Data Type | Values/Example | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| SizeToSplitDatabaseOn | integer | 50 (GB) | Default = 50 (50 Gigabyte) |
History
This feature was introduced in Nodinite version 3.
Important
You must restart the Logging Service for changes to take effect.
Excessive Logging can eventually lead to a range of challenges. Nodinite helps you avoid these by automatically removing historical data from Log Databases according to user settings and specific System Parameters.
New Log Events are inserted into the online Log Database. Old data is removed according to the following System Parameters:
Log Events typically cause the Nodinite Log Database to grow. Other data, such as from Monitoring and Log Audited user actions, is removed according to additional System Parameters.
