Log Rotation

You can customize Big Data Service log rotation to maintain more logs and to maintain logs for an longer time.

By default, Big Data Service log files are rotated and have a maximum size of 100 MB. The ten newest rotated files are kept for backup, while older files are deleted.

To maintain more logs or to maintain logs for a more extended period of time, you can increase the default values or configure push logs and backups in the OCI Logging service. For more information, see Pushing Big Data Service Logs to OCI Logging Service.

These numbers are configurable per type of log, such as service logs (.log), Java garbage collection logs (.gc), process system output (.out), and error logs (.err).
