| Automated File Management System |
Cisco IOS XR Release 24.4.1 |
The Automated File Management System handles files efficiently on each node. The system automatically archives older files and removes them from local nodes to free SSD space. It manages system-generated log files, showtech-related residual files, and OTDR files. |
The SSD stores these file types.
-
User: The user creates and owns files for requirements and deletes the files when the files are no longer needed.
-
System: The system organizes files automatically based on the file content and the application that created the content, such as .log files and showtech-related residual files. Automated file management applies to system-generated files.
Automated file management handles log files in these stages.
-
The NCS 1014 system uses log rotation configurations to manage log files as required.
-
The system checks for .log files that exceed 10 MB. This threshold applies only to files in the /tmp folder. For files in other folders, the system uses a different threshold and applies the same process.
-
After locating the file, the system archives that file with the .gz extension and creates a new .log file with the same name.
-
The system maintains one active log file and two archived files.
-
When new files are archived, the system deletes the oldest archived file so that only the two most recently archived files and the current log file are retained.
Automated file management handles showtech-related residual log files in these stages.
-
The system generates residual files during log collection when Showtech logs is in operation.
-
After collecting the logs, the system automatically removes the residual files to conserve space.
