Catalina.out log is growing too fast

[Michael]

Hi,

  Is there any way to check how come Catalina.out log file is suddenly
growing too fast? It's growing every 1 hour about 4GB. Please help me to
advise.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Nic actually did. He perfectly explained the steps that are now needed. In case you have nobody available to debug it you would have to do it on your own or recruit a sys admin.

Nobody from here can fix it for you directly as we do not have access to your system.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Michael,

welcome to Atlassian community!

If the growth came all of a sudden I'd recommend to compare an old catalina.out with one that is growing rapidly. There must be something in your setup that leads to let the file grow that rapidly in the past.

Please also check which Jira version you are currently using. It more recent versions the amount of data logged to catalina.out has been reduced. (Please see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-67796)

Cheers,
Daniel

My JIRA version is v6.0.2. Catalina.out  is suddenly growing too fast since last month ago. Every 4 days I need to clear Catalina.out. Please advise.

The question remains "what did you change that triggered the sudden increase?"

If you can't remember what you did, then I would take a look at the log to see exactly what is going into it.  Rapid growth usually indicates something repeatedly failing frequently, and I expecy you will see a lot of the same error over and over.  That error is a good pointer to what is going wrong.

I did change any setting on JIRA Server. Could you please advise how can i check for this issue? 

Thanks,

Michael

You will need to do some log analysis - look at how the logs behaved before your change and afterwards.  The new stuff appearing in the log should point you towards what is now being logged that was not before.
