Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2

Situation

After making a change to ZCC Configuration > Device management > Local device logging setting, loader-messages.log grows beyond the maximum size set in ZCC.

Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.2.4 - see KB 7012027 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2.4 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at http:////support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7012027

To this:

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG


restart the ZENworks loader service.
