How To Change the Listener Log Filename Without Stopping the Listener

 Note for 11g and newer installations:

This procedure only works if ADR has been disabled in the listener.ora (addition of DIAG_ADR_ENABLED_listenername = OFF)

If ADR is enabled and the command in this document is executed, the error “TNS-01251: Cannot set trace/log directory under ADR” will be displayed

10gR2 and earlier instructions:

The listener.log filename can be changed via following methods

At the LSNRCTL prompt:

LSNRCTL>set current_listener <listener_name> LSNRCTL>set log_file <new filename>

And to save the change to the listener.ora file:

LSNRCTL>save_config

For example:

Example: To rename the listener.log to listener_1.log: LSNRCTL>set log_file listener_1.log LSNRCTL>save_config

This creates a new log called listener_1.log and posts an update to the listener.ora file so that the change is saved. The listener will continue to log events to listener_1.log until the log_file setting has been changed again.

Please be aware of the following issues with the save_config command in LSNRCTL:
