Tip#27 Listener Log File Too Big

Over a period it is quite often you will see that listener.log in  ORACLE_HOME/network/log has grown to X GB in size.So how do we manage it ?

Do not have to stop the listener in order to delete the log files, just do the following

$> lsnrctl

LSNRCTL> set current_listener listener_name 
LSNRCTL> show log_file
LSNRCTL> set log_file xxx.log
LSNRCTL> show log_file
LSNRCTL> exit 

$> remove or backup the old listener.log
