THL files are by default retained for seven days, but the retention period can be adjusted according the to requirements of the service. Longer times retain the logs for longer, increasing disk space usage while allowing access to the THL information for longer. Shorter logs reduce disk space usage while reducing the amount of log data available.
The files are automatically managed by Tungsten Replicator. Old THL files are deleted only when new data is written to the current files. If there has been no THL activity, the log files remain until new THL information is written.
Use the tpm update command to apply the
thl-log-retention setting. The
replication service will be restarted on each host with updated
retention configuration.
