Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress 4GL Reference

> ## LOG-THRESHOLD attribute

> The file size threshold of log files. When the current log file becomes equal to or greater than the specified size, Progress renames and saves the log file and creates a new log file.

> Data type: INTEGER

> Access: Readable

> Applies to: LOG-MANAGER system handle

> Valid values are:

> - 0 — This means there is no limit other than what the operating system imposes. Specify 0 to ignore the Number of Log Files to Keep (`-numlogfiles`) startup parameter setting. This is the default.

> - Between 500,000 and 2,147,483,647 — Values are in bytes (one byte typically holds one character). You can specify a file size up to 2GB, inclusive, but not lower than 500,000.

> Progress names log files based on a sequence number using the following format:

>     <filename>.999999.<extension>

> For example, if you specify a log file named `my.log`, Progress renames the log file to `my.000001.log` before creating a new log file.

> The LOG-THRESHOLD attribute corresponds to the Log Threshold (`-logthreshold`) startup parameter.

> Use the LOGFILE-NAME attribute or the Client Logging (`-clientlog`) startup parameter to specify a log file name for 4GL clients. Use the NUM-LOG-FILES attribute or the Number of Log Files to Keep (`-numlogfiles`) startup parameter to specify the number of log files to keep.

> For more information about the Client Logging (`-clientlog`) and Number of Log Files to Keep (`-numlogfiles`) startup parameters, see OpenEdge Deployment: Startup Command and Parameter Reference and OpenEdge Development: Debugging and Troubleshooting .
