We run Solaris and Oracle as well (but no ITSM, all custom) and we run with the logs enabled all the time. Set the max size of the files as appropriate for your space. Our system has enough traffic that I fill a 64M SQL log file in about 7 minutes. I use a cron job every 5 minutes to copy and gzip up the files.
I rarely see my arserverd process go over 7% CPU utilization under prstat -a Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Sathish Kumar P Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 11:14 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Impact on Enabling API/SQL Logs in Production environment ** Hi All, We are currently in ARS 7.1 with ITSM 7.03 with Oracle10g in Solaris10 Operating system. We had seen in the recent past whenever a server crash happens due to unknown reasons, BMC support request for the API and SQL Logs to diagnoize, which we have not enabled in our Production environment. I had raised BMC issue on the same,but got different response each time, where they say it will impact the performance and it will NOT impact the performance, so need your help very much.. My thought was if I can get confirmation that enabling API/SQL logs will not cause any performance impact, i will enable the API and SQL Logs and have a monitoring script which backups up the API and SQL Logs for every 1 hour so that my application file system space is not getting fulled. I hope some of you would have come across this situation, and it would be of great help if you can share your view.
