Journal

  The journal is a file that records some of the Web browser client and program client activity occurring on the Directory Server. It can track usage and help with support issues.

  The level of journaling in force affects performance; the more entries written, the more performance is degraded. The scale of the degradation depends on many factors such as file system performance and client traffic; a system with a large number of highly active program clients suffers the most.

Maximum file size

  Specify the maximum file size in kilobytes (KB) of the journal file. Once the journal file grows to this size, the most recent journal entries overwrite the oldest journal entries.

  The minimum is 32 KB. The default value is 256 KB.

  Warning: Changing the size of the journal erases any previous journal entries.

  Top

Entries displayed

  Specify the number of journal entries that will be displayed on the page at a single time.

  The minimum is 5 entries. The default value is 23 entries.

  Notes:
