Currently, it dumps its entire state every ten minutes. This ends up in the log and in production systems could be a huge encumbrance. Find a better way to make this information available:
Ideas:
- put a diff in the log file. Cool, but tricky, we would need to do a tree diff.
- put it all one line, as that is less intrusive. This could run into some journal length restrictions.
- zip it up into a binary. The journal sometimes does poorly w/ binaries too.
- Put it in a lookaside file elsewhere.
- etc.
