ASM will locally hold up to 3 Million log entries, or 2 GB of data, whichever comes first. On device logging is probably best used for troubleshooting and short-term forensics, and an external logging facility is best used for long-term logging.

    Hello Tzoori,

     

    Is it possible to change/reduce these values ? If yes how because I didn't find any doc. about it (ASM v12.1.2)

     

    For example, to pass the ASM log DB size from 2GB to 1GB and the 3 Million to 1.5 Million ?

     

    Thanks
