Summary

In environments using Solaris Queue Engines where there may be large number of Jobs being submitted and executed at a time, users may notice large numbers of read and write events in their audit logs being captured for one or more of the following paths:

• /opt/ARGTqe/logs
• /opt/ARGTqe/jobdef
• /opt/ARGTqe/dbf

In extreme cases, the number of audited events may become so excessive that it rapidly consumes the available space on the partition where the logs are located.

In such a scenario, Argent strongly recommends that the user turn off auditing on one or more of the above-mentioned paths.

Technical Background

The following provides an explanation for how each of the paths are used by the Solaris Queue Engine:

1. /opt/ARGTqe/logs – This holds the log files of Argent Solaris Queue Engine which is updated when a Job is submitted or executed
2. /opt/ARGTqe/jobdef – This is a temporary folder which contains the status of Jobs with Job number. This is updated when a Job is submitted or executed.
3. /opt/ARGTqe/dbf – This is the database for Argent Solaris Queue Engine which is updated when a Job is submitted or executed

Resolution

Turn off Read and Write auditing on one or more of the above-mentioned paths
