there is no possibility to change the size of netmon.trace files.

But you can use a small script running in the background, like:

#!/bin/ksh
while true
do
  if [ -f /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace.old ]
  do
    TIMESTAMP=`date +"%y%m%d%H%M%S"`
    mv /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace.old /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace.$TIMESTAMP
done

I've just typed it without testing .....

Tivoli NetView 6.0.2 on AIX. 4.3.3

I'm trying to capture some problems with false alarms (described in my
previous post). Therefor I'm collecting netmon traces at highest level
possible (netmon -M -1). But netmon.trace file (and accompanying
netmon.trace.old of course) fills very quickly and it seems to have defined
max size so I'm loosing interesting for me log (I've got only later logs in
it, I don't have it event in netmon.trace.old file). Where is netmon.trace
file size defined? Can I change it?

Pozdrowienia/Regards
