What is the file name that chronicle queue writes to disk and how do we handle the growth of the file as it keeps growing?

Question

Can we configure the file that the queue writes as rolling and split it?

Tried to run it with high load

Answer 1

You can provide the file path to a directory, not a file. Chronicle Queue Will create its own files, into that directory, if you have set it up to do daily rolling, (which is the default ) then it will create a new file each day, and write new messages into that file.

Answer 2

You can control when it rolls by time, by setting the RollCycle. You can have files up to 64 TB without a problem for Chronicle Queue, however reducing the roll cycle should keep the files ot a manageable size.
