Display string from a log file on a Dashboard?

Hello everyone,
I need a little guidance on how to solve this problem in SCOM 2012 R2.
I need SCOM to do this:
Read a log file on a specific application server (say its hostname is server21)
Look for the text: Total number of users: 15
Display the text “Users on Server21 =
15” on a SCOM dashboard (or something to that effect)
Sounds simple enough? Well, I am stumped :-(
I have read and followed tutorials on internet, telling me how to create a rule and alerts. However I don’t want alerts. I want this data to be simply shown on a dashboard.
How can I do that?
PS: I hear that I may have to create my own management pack with only server21 in it. Is that right?

Thanks for the tip. The powershell grid widget is pretty powerful. However it will take me quite some time and effort to write a PS script which can extract the exact info I need from that application's log file. I was hoping SCOM's own log parsing
capabilities would do it.
By the way, yes, we can create a MP and have only one server in it. We can use the (free)
MPAuthor to make a MP with only one server in it. Here is a video showing how to do it...

I tried doing what I want using MPAuthor, but it again boiled down to me writing a PS script which can extract the exact info I need
from that application's log file.

Fast way to compare strings in a log file

I am having a log file ( contains more than 100,000 lines) based on system statistics for a time period. For each time point I am logging 12 sets of data each set starts with a tag /**START**/ and ends with a tag /**END**/. I would like to know the best and fast way to read from the log file and prepare records for each set for a specific time period.
Currently I am reading from the file using BufferedReader.readLine() method and compare the tags and distribute the data sets accordingly....
any suggestions...?

Yes You are right.... I am doing the string parsing after reading each line... May be that is taking much time.. since we are providing an option to customize chart list, I have to process all the lines and distribute the data accordingly before preparing the charts. Some data set (between START & END) contains upto 256 lines and some single line... Here is a sample format....

Connection string in listener log file for loading balance/failover

Hi Experts,
I have 4 node RAC for oracle 10g2 in rad hate 5.0
We creaed service dbsale ( sale1,2 as pr imary and sale3/4 as available) with loading balance/failover.
The remote user created a local TNS as
localmarket =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 155.206.xxx.xx)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = OFF)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = dbsale))
From server side, I saw that user send two request connection string. one fail and another is OK.
It seems that fail connecting come from failover/loading balance from dbsale3?
Why do we get two connection string in listener log file?
Which difference is between two connection string?
Where does system change these connection string?
Thanks for your explaining.
Jim

Hi Jim,
I think the best way on this case is create one service with one instance as primary and another 3 as available.
Or use the connect string with two vip addresses, cause the service has two instances and the tnsnames.ora entry has only one.

Hello,
One of my requirement is to display user defined log file into asconsole (OAS 101.3 EM) from $OH/j2ee/home/log/<myapplication>.log into OAS EM.
Please suggest.
Thanks,

As a sanity test, can you do the following: cd /home/oracle/product/10.1.3/OracleAS_1/j2ee/home
cd applications/xmjfcx/xmjfcx/WEB-INF/lib
jar tvf commons-validator.jar
jar xvf commons-validator.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MFI use two "cd" just to make it more readable. Then use you editor to check the file MANIFEST.MF. Anything problem?

Job number from alert log file to information

Hello!
I have a question about job numbers in alert log file. Today one of our Oracle 10g R2 [10.2.0.4] RAC nodes crashed. After examining alert log file for one of the nodes I saw a lot of messages like:
Tue Jul 26 11:52:43 2011
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/admin/zeme/bdump/zeme2_j002_28952.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job *20627358*
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
Tue Jul 26 11:52:43 2011
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/admin/zeme/bdump/zeme2_j001_11018.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job *20627357*
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
Tue Jul 26 11:52:43 2011
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/admin/zeme/bdump/zeme2_j000_9684.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job *20627342*
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
After examining trc files I have found no further information about error except session ids.
My question is: how to find what job caused these messages to appear in alert log file.
How do I map number in alert log file to some "real" information (owner, statement executed, schedule)?
Marx.

Sorry for the delay
Try this to find the job :
select job, what from dba_jobs ;
How do I find NLS_LANG version?SQL> show parameter NLS_LANG
Do you mean ALTER SESSION inside a job?I meant anywhere, but your question is better.
ORA-12705 - Common Reasons and How to Resolve Them [ID 158654.1]
If OS is Windows lookout for NLS_LANG=NA in the registry
Is it possible you are doing this somewhere ?
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'RRRR-MM-DD\"T\"HH24:MI:SS';NLS database settings are superseded by NLS instance settings
SELECT * from NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS;
These are the settings used for the current SQL session.
NLS_LANG could be set in a profile for example.
NLS_LANG=_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 ( correct )
NLS_LANG=AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 ( Incorrect )
you need to set the "_" as separator.
Windows
set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
Unix
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1

Problems deleting a string from an external file.

hi!
I am working on a program but am having problems deleting a string of information from an external file. The code I have managed to do only seems to be deleting the surname. The rest of the string remains and the Surname from the string bellow the one that should have been deleted moves to where the surname that was just deleated was.
this is the code snippet that should be deleting the string:
          System.out.print("Please enter the last name of the contact: ");
          last_name = dataInput.next();
          int z = 0;
          for (int i=0; i < number_of_records; i++)
                    if ((last_name.compareTo(lastName)) < i && (last_name.compareTo(lastName[i]) > i))
                              z = i;
          for (int i = z; i < number_of_records; i++)
                    lastName[i] = lastName[i+1];
Anyone got any ideas why its not deleting the whole string?
the extrenal file is set out like:
surname,,first name,,phone number

I don't think you have given enough information to answer this question completely; however, here is my guess:
The code that appears to be doing the "deleting"
for (int i = z; i < number_of_records; i++)
    lastName[i] = lastName[i+1];
}is only acting upon the lastName array.

SELECT top two longest running steps from a log file

Simplified example.
Our jobs write records to our own internal log file. I want to write a query that will pull log records for a specific job, between specific dates. This will help determine if the job is running slower than usual and to find the steps within the job that
are the longest running.
Jobs are identified by the Type field. Type=1 is a specific job name.
Each job writes a DESC=START record to the log at the beginning of the job. the Desc=START record will be updated at the end of the job with the ENDDT.
I want to pull the top two longest running steps (ENDDT-BEGINDT) for each job (Type) where the step startdr and enddt falls between the START startDT and end dt.
I also want to always pull key step names, like DESC=START and DESC=xya for each job.
LOG RECORDS
DESC,TYPE,BEGINDT,ENDDT
START,1,2014-10-22 07:56:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000
aaa,1,2014-10-22 07:57:56.000,2014-10-22 08:57:56.000
bbb,1,2014-10-22 08:57:56.000,2014-10-22 09:01:56.000
ccc,1,2014-10-22 09:01:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000
xya,1,2014-10-22 09:55:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000
START,1,2014-10-21 11:56:56.000,2014-10-22 02:56:56.000
aaa,1,2014-10-21 11:57:56.000,2014-10-22 01:57:56.000
bbb,1,2014-10-22 01:57:56.000,2014-10-22 02:56:56.000
ccc,1,2014-10-22 02:56:56.000,2014-10-22 02:56:56.000
xya,1,2014-10-22 09:55:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000
Desired result set.
If pulling job type 1 records for last 2 days, would end up with this result set. START and xya are always pulled and then the top 2 longest running steps for each of the START records.
DESC,TYPE,BEGINDT,ENDDT,Duration
START,1,2014-10-22 07:56:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000

I am asking for help in how to create this query. Thanks

Hi TheBrenda,
According to your description, I have written a sample query and tested it in my local environment.
The following sample query is for your reference:

Apply exakt steps from History log file to another image?

Alright. If you edit an image and the history log option is turned on, you can look at the exakt steps you've made with all the settings for the individual tools and effects used. Also steps you make can be recorded with the actions tool.
My question is, are there any way to "play" the steps listed in the history log file, as if it were an action?
I need to apply alot of steps to several images but I never recorded the steps I've made with the actions tool. However they are "recorded" in the history log file and I could go in and look and recreate all those steps manually, but that would take too much time...
Are there any plug-ins or are there any other way to do what I need to get done?
Cheers
Martin

1. you can set your preferences to record the history to a txt file or the files metadata.
I assumed that is what the OP already did as indicated in
If you edit an image and the history log option is turned on,
wonder why there are no feature in Photoshop to replay all one have done, to any image?
As you know there is, it’s Actions (as with Scripting not all functionality records; Edit: and not all functionality is applicable to all files because of Color Mode and Bit Depth for example). But it is up to you to employ the necessary foresight to know what to record beforehand.
Also a non-destructive workflow can help make many effects/compositions/etc. easily transfer-/recreateable.

Best way to extract lines from a log file in Linux

My query is that I have a log file which is around 7 GB and I want to extract lines between a certain time range which should total up to half of the size to 3.5 GB. The lines start with a time range like “2014-03-11 17:35:00”. I want to extract the lines between “2014-03-11 17:35:00” to “2014-03-11 18:05:00”. What should be the best way as there may be a grep command or a sed command to do it.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

How about the following:
awk '/2014-03-11 17:35:00/, /2014-03-11 18:05:00/' infile > outfile

How to recover from deleting log file?

Hi,
In a case on Mondayitis I accidentally deleted C:\ORACLEXE\APP\ORACLE\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\XE\ONLINELOG\O1_MF_1_35N72N5G_.LOG'
and now can't start my database. (see error below)

Can someone guide me on how I can create a new log file and get my database up and running.
Thanks
Anthony

After a bit more research I fixed the problem.
But just in case anyone else does the same stupid thing - here is how I fixed it.
connect / as sysdba
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
And database is up and running.

Anthony
