<p>
The aspects of logging that may be configured are the size
of the logging subsystem's region, the size of the log files
on disk, the size of the log buffer in memory, and several
operating system settings affecting the behavior of log files.
</p>
<p>
The <a href="../api_reference/C/envset_lg_regionmax.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->set_lg_regionmax()</a> method specifies the size of the logging
subsystem's region, in bytes. The logging subsystem's default size
is approximately 60KB. This value may need to be increased if a
large number of files are registered with the Berkeley DB log
manager, for example, by opening a large number of Berkeley DB
database files in a transactional application.
</p>
<p>
The <a href="../api_reference/C/envset_lg_max.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->set_lg_max()</a> method specifies the individual log file
size for all the applications sharing the Berkeley DB
environment. Setting the log file size is largely a matter of
convenience and a reflection of the application's preferences
in backup media and frequency. However, setting the log file
size too low can potentially cause problems because it would
be possible to run out of log sequence numbers, which requires
a full archival and application restart to reset. See <a class="xref" href="log_limits.html" title="Log file limits">Log file limits</a> for more
information.
</p>
<p>
The <a href="../api_reference/C/envset_lg_bsize.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->set_lg_bsize()</a> method specifies the size of the
in-memory log buffer, in bytes. Log information is stored in
memory until the buffer fills up or transaction commit forces
the buffer to be written to disk. Larger buffer sizes can
significantly increase throughput in the presence of
long-running transactions, highly concurrent applications, or
transactions producing large amounts of data. By default, the
buffer is approximately 32KB.
</p>
<p>
The <a href="../api_reference/C/envset_lg_dir.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->set_lg_dir()</a> method specifies the directory in which
log files will be placed. By default, log files are placed in
the environment home directory.
</p>
<p>
The <a href="../api_reference/C/envset_lg_filemode.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->set_lg_filemode()</a> method specifies the absolute file
mode for created log files. This method is only useful for the
rare Berkeley DB application that does not control its umask
value.
</p>
<p>
The <a href="../api_reference/C/envlog_set_config.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->log_set_config()</a> method configures several boolean
parameters that control the use of file system controls such
as O_DIRECT and O_DSYNC, automatic removal of log files,
in-memory logging, and pre-zeroing of logfiles.
