PDMM and PCMM Log Files

Logs generated on a AKD PDMM or PCMM are stored in flash memory at /mount/flash/log. The files are stored in a rotating pool consisting of a maximum of 10 files. The files have a maximum size of 200 kilobytes each; the most amount of space the log files will consume is 2 MB. Once an "eleventh" file is created the earliest file is flushed to make room for the new file.

The AKD PDMM and PCMM generated log levels can be controlled form the KAS IDE "Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger and Web Server. From the IDE, the log levels can be filtered in the configuration window in the Logs and Information tab.

Log File Naming Convention

The logs have the naming format pdmm_logs_n where n is a value ranging from 0000000000 to 4294967295, which is the maximum value a 32-bit location can store.

As an example, when the files are first created they will be named pdmm_logs_0000000000, pdmm_logs_0000000001, pdmm_logs_0000000002 and so on. The file that will be created after pdmm_logs_4294967295 is pdmm_logs_0000000000. The naming gets reset and continues.
