Changing the Number of Concurrent File Collections

Procedure

  1. Using the following command stop all engines:
    $ mtask stop
    Note: Using mtask causes the GUI, log collecting, searching, reporting, and all other LogLogic LMI functions to stop until mtask is restarted.
  2. Open the /loglogic/conf/node_config.xml file.
  3. Add the following line to the file collector, as shown in the following example.

    The following example for an LogLogic ST Appliance sets the degree of parallelism to 50:

    <node type="ST_SERVICES">
    <service
       group="BACKEND"
       start_cmd="/loglogic/bin/engine_filecollector"
       args="-p 50"
       heartbeat_timeout="180"
       escalation="GROUP_RESTART,DISABLE"
       runlevel="8"/>
    </node>
  4. Use the following command to start all engines:
    $ mtask start

    The appliance will be fully functional after a few minutes.
