FG200E - Memory-Log shows only 140-170 lines

Hi!

I am just using my first FG 200Es (OS: 5.4.4)

As they do not have a SSD, I need to log to memory. Everything is working fine, but the log is VERY small. It does just keep the last 140-170 lines.

 

Is this the "normal behaviour"?

 

Is it safe to increase the max-size of the memory-log:

config log memory global-setting
    set max-size 2236949
end

 

Standard-Size is 65536

 

One second thing: Is there any possibility to let the two nodes of a HA-cluster boot "one after the other", if I change that setting?

 

Thank you

Regards,

KPS

Did you cli execute log list for  the current sizes of the logs files? and the number of rolled logs ?

Yes, the default size is quite small and won't hold much information. I usually increase it to 2 or 2.5 MB which can hold 1000s of lines.

As this is a 'must reboot' setting the cluster will reboot, sequentially, slave first. No choice.

Hi Ede!

 

Thank's for your answer!

2236949 byte seems to be the maximum size of the log on the 200Es. Is there any risk on chosing the maximum level? That looks quite small to me. The 200E has 4GB memory, so I do not understand that limit.

 

After changing that level, the cluster did _not_ reboot sequentially. Both nodes rebooted at the same time, and the VIPs have not been reachable for about 2 mins. Did your systems behave in another way?
