Configure error, access and audit logging. Audit logging must be manually enabled for Directory Server, and is not available for Directory Proxy Server.
When a new log file is opened, the old log file is stored in the same directory as the new file, with the same name and an extension that contains the date that the file was created, in the format filename.YYYYMMDD-hhmmss. The server also maintains a file with the same name and the .rotationinfo extension to record the creation dates of all log files.
For more information about configuring logging, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator’s Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
For guidelines on designing a logging strategy, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Planning Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition 11g Release 1 (11.1.1).
