Measures reported by IMSDbLogFileTest

The iPlanet messaging server instance message store contains a database (Berkley DB) that stores information about the mailboxes on the server, and stores quota information about the mailboxes. The IMSDbLogFileTest monitors the log files of the message store database. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Number_of_files The number of database log files present in the directory, IPLANET_MESSAGING_SERVER_INSTALL_DIR/CURRENT_INSTANCE_DIRECTORY/store/mboxlist. Example of the log file is log.0000000014. Number Database log files refer to sleepycat transaction checkpointing log files (in the directory,IPLANET_MESSAGING_SERVER_INSTALL_DIR/CURRENT_INSTANCE_DIRECTORY/store/mboxlist). If log files accumulate, then database checkpointing will not occur. At any given point of time, the presence of 2 or 3 log files is indicative of good health. If there are more files, it could be a sign of a problem. Log file accumulation could also be due to "stored" problems.
Total_files_size The space occupied by the database log files MB
