Question
PEGA trace files on pega 824
Hi Experts,
We configured the temp directory by using the DSS
pr_temp | /var/tmp/pega |
whenever we do the remote trace all the trace files are saving under var/tmp/pega/trace but those are not clearing.
Do we need to write a custom script or Pega has some setting or agent that does the temp folder clean up?
Hi Ravinder,
You are right that running tracer operation will create the folder \Tracer inside pr_temp(explicitTempDir) with RequestorID as the directory.
Upon stopping the tracer and closing the tracer window the RequestorID directory should get removed from the Tracer folder.
Can you do a simple test by tracing your own session with the tracer window open and confirm the directory created with your RequestorID and then close the tracer and directory gets removed?
Did this start happening recently?
I believe there was a recent Chrome change which caused tracer to not kill it's requestor session when you close the window without stopping tracer. Since last week I have been seeing this accross Pega versions. I'd expect this to cause what you're describing. I have created a platform bug to investigate this.
