Log files in DB folder

Hello!
Does anyone know if it is necessary to keep all of the .log files in the \zenworks\inv\db folder? There are numerous .log files, created daily, from the very first day that we installed the database on the server (over 2 years ago). Each file is 128k in size. It would be nice if we could delete some or most of them to free up the disk space being used.
Thanks!
Larry

'log' file in user folder

I just opened my "User" folder in the finder and noticed there is a random file in there named 'log'.
When i open it in textedit, there is just one line of text: "cp_plugin_dir:/Users/Mitchell/Library/Internet Plug-Ins"
What is this file and is it safe to delete?
Thanks

I don't know what caused it but it only a (misplaced) log file so you can safely delete it. Of course whatever caused it (a poorly written internet plugin installer?) may create it again so the mystery of the cause remains. Keep an eye out for it and maybe you can associate some action you do with its reappearance.

Script to search all files in specified folder for multiple string text values listed in a source file and output each match to one single results txt file

I have been searching high and low for this one. I have a vbscript that can successfully perform the function if one file is listed. It does a Wscript.echo on the results and if I run this via command using cscript, I can output to a text file
that way. However, I cannot seem to get it to work properly if I want it to search ALL the files in the folder. At one point, I was able to have it create the output file and appear as if it worked, but it never showed any results when the script
was executed and folder was scanned. So I am going back to the drawing board and starting from the beginning.
I also have a txt file that contains the list of string text entries I would like it to search for. Just for testing, I placed 4 lines of sample text and one single matching text in various target files and nothing comes back. The current script
I use for each file has been executed with a few hundred string text lines I want it to search against to well over one thousand. It might take awhile, but it works every time. The purpose is to let this run against various log files in a folder and
let it search. There is no deleting, moving, changing of either the target folder/files to run against, nor of the file that contains the strings to search for. It is a search (read) only function, going thru the entire contents of the folder and
when done, performs the loop function and onto the next file to repeat the process until all files are searched. When completed, instead of running a cscript to execute the script and outputting the results to text, I am trying to create that as part
of the overall script. Saving yet another step for me to do.
My current script is set to append to the same results file and will echo [name of file I am searching]: No errors found. Otherwise, the
output shows the filename and the string text that matched. Because the results append to it, I can only run the script against each file separately or create individual output names. I would rather not do that if I could include it all in one.
This would also free me from babysitting it and running each file script separately upon the other's completion. I can continue with my job and come back later and view the completed report all in one. So
if I could perform this on an entire folder, then I would want the entries to include the filename, the line number that the match occurred on in that file and the string text that was matched (each occurrence). I don't want the entire line to be listed
where the error was, just the match itself.
Example: (In the event this doesn't display correctly below, each match, it's corresponding filename and line number all go together on the same line. It somehow posted the example jumbled when I listed it)
File1.txt Line 54
Job terminated unexpectedly
File1.txt Line 58 Process not completed
File1.txt
Line 101 User input not provided
File1.txt
Line 105 Process not completed
File2.txt
No errors found
File3.txt
Line 35 No tape media found
File3.txt
Line 156 Bad surface media
File3.txt Line 188
Process terminated
Those are just random fake examples for this post.
This allows me to perform analysis on a set of files for various projects I am doing. Later on, when the entire search is completed, I can go back to the results file and look and see what files had items I wish to follow up on. Therefore, the
line number that each match was found on will allow me to see the big picture of what was going on when the entry was logged.
I actually import the results file into a spreadsheet, where further information is stored regarding each individual text string I am using. Very useful.
If you know how I can successfully achieve this in one script, please share. I have seen plenty of posts out there where people have requested all different aspects of it, but I have yet to see it all put together in one and work successfully.
Thanks for helping.

I'm sorry. I was so consumed in locating the issue that I completely overlooked posting what exactly I was needing help with. I did have one created, but I came across one that seemed more organized than what I originally created. Later
on I would learn that I had an error in log location on my original script and therefore thought it wasn't working properly. Now that I am thinking that I am pretty close to achieving what I want with this one, I am just going to stick with it.
However, I could still use help on it. I am not sure what I did not set correctly or perhaps overlooking as a typing error that my very last line of this throws an "Expected Statement" error. If I end with End, then it still gives same
results.
So to give credit where I located this:
http://vbscriptwmi.uw.hu/ch12lev1sec7.html
I then adjusted it for what I was doing.
What this does does is it searches thru log files in a directory you specify when prompted. It looks for words that are contained in another file; objFile2, and outputs the results of all matching words in each of those log files to another file: errors.log
Once all files are scanned to the end, the objects are closed and then a message is echoed letting you know (whether there errors found or not), so you know the script has been completed.
What I had hoped to achieve was an output to the errors.log (when matches were found) the file name, the line number that match was located on in that file and what was the actual string text (not the whole line) that matched. That way, I can go directly
to each instance for particular events if further analysis is needed later on.
So I could use help on what statement should I be closing this with. What event, events or error did I overlook that I keep getting prompted for that. Any help would be appreciated.

System.log file

I need to find the system.log file, but cannot. Where is it?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Jurgen

To see the log's contents, open the Console in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and click on the Logs button; one of the entries will be the system.log.
To see the log itself, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter /private/var/log/ as the folder's path, and locate the system.log file when that folder appears.

Is it safe to post one .log file?

Hi, I have a very basic question, so hopefully not laugh at me
Is it safe to post one. log file of the folder /var /log/?, I was wondering this, because they are often very long to read completely.
Do these files show some kind of private information or passwords?
hoping she would not laugh at me, thanks in advance
sorry for my English

You can post the tail of log material using the code tags - or, if it is a particularly long file, use a pastebin service:

Nevertheless, you should always check anything that you are posting to make sure it doesn't contain any information that you would be unwilling to have in the public domain.

BackPRD.log File Suddenly Increases to 78GB in SAPBACKUP folder in Linux server

Dear Experts,
There is a problem in our SAP Production server. As earlier when i check the space it is good and after 25 Minutes while i am checking of the Directory spaces, the Backup folder size increases suddenly to 100 more than earlier it is. The backPRD.log file size earlier it is 13 MB and it is Now showing as 78 GB. Is there any thing to resolve the issue and i have checked some forms also there is no thread for the same issue. With this the Restoration is also not possible Using the Source system Backup on Target system.
Thanks, Regards,
Harsha.

Hi Sanjay,
Could you confirm for
1.Any recent changes into DB as well as at the end of backup device (Could be a third party software or hardware) ?
2.Any recent SP,kernel,DB upgrade as well as OS upgrade activity performed at your end ?
3.Any modifications under backup schedule if using it from DB13 or any changes under third party scripts ?
4.Have you activated trace for the system ?
Addition to all if you're able to login to system than please share system logs from SM21,recent dump details from ST22 if any.
With this the Restoration is also not possible Using the Source system Backup on Target system.
With the above logs would like to check alert_<SID>.log file as well.
Regards,
Gaurav

We have a Exchange 2013 server and the Mailbox Database folder is filling up with .log files.

We are migrating from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. We have installed the Exchange 2013 but it only has a couple of mailboxes on this server, all the mailboxes are still on the Exchange 2010 server.
I have run a Windows Backup of the Exchange 2013 but I am still seeing a ton a log files in the mailbox folder.
Also the database file is only about 1.1 GB but the backup is now 40 GB.
Is there something that can be done to truncate these logs and make the backup smaller?

Hi ,
1.Does the full backup completed successfully ?
2.what about the status for the below mentioned command ? Does the mailbox database headers updated with the latest time and date ?
Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | ft name,*full* -au
3.Just check the application event logs for the event id
2046 and that should state that the log truncation for the mailbox databases has been initiated or not.
4.Before initiating the backup just make the exchange writer is not on error.
vssadmin list writers
In case if it on error state ,please restart the Microsoft exchange replication service and check the exchange writers status again by using the above mentioned command.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

Until the client agent is installed, smsts.log will be in C:\Windows\Temp.
That won't help you troubleshoot the client agent installation failure though. For Windows Installer installations, 1603 is a generic error code that means you needs to examine the verbose msi log file (client.msi.log in this case) in depth. Searching
for the string "return code 3" and then scanning the lines above this will lead you to exact item that failed.

Error in Log file

I am wondering if anyone has ever seen errors like this. They started showing up in our log file recently with the error below. Once this error starts, then tons of errors are generated and the log file grows exponentially.

Sharepoint log files growing huge

Once again a SharePoint question :)
I ran the following script against our SharePoint 2013 farm:
#Specify the location of the CSV file here.
$r = Import-Csv C:\folder\users.csv
foreach($i in $r){
#The following line displays the current user.
Write-Host "The URL is:"$i.Url
#Disables the "Minimal Download Strategy" feature under "Site Features".
#Disable-SPFeature -Identity "MDSFeature" -Url $i.Url -force -confirm:$false
#Enables the "SharePoint Server Publishing" feature under "Site Features".
Enable-SPFeature -Identity "PublishingSite" -Url $i.Url -force -confirm:$false
#Enables the "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" feature under "Site Collection Features".

The csv file that is being imported contains about 2000+ rows with users' MySite links where we want to en-/disable several features.
The script does what it is supposed to do, but while running the script and reaching user No. ~15 the log files under "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS" starts to grow huuuuuuge (~5GB).
They are mostly filled with this:

I tried finding something on the internet on this but either my Google Mojo is gone or there is no one else posting about this.
Since we do not want to change the logging behavior of SharePoint (unless it is really necessary), I'd like to know if there is something wrong with my code? Is there some parameter I can use to suspend logging for this script? There must be something I'm
doing horribly wrong :(
Thanks in advance!
(If anything I posted is unclear please let me know since English isn't my first language)
EDIT: There is nothing productive happening on that farm. There is a web application for the MySites and one for a publishing portal (without any significant content).

It's because MS did a poor job on the SharePoint object model. You shouldn't need to call a 'dispose' method on any object in .Net, the garbage collector should automatically identify a no-longer required object and remove it. Unfortunately, and there might
be a reason for it, that isn't true for SPWeb or SPSite objects.
Evidently the Enable-SPFeature comandlet contains a SPSite or SPWeb object and fails to dispose of it.
You could try using Start-SPAssignment: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607664%28v=office.15%29.aspx which some have found to be useful to deal with this. Another option would be to create a process that generates a new thread for each row in
the csv which will result in the objects being destroyed as that process ends.

How to read Skype connection logs (.log files in /...

Hi all,
A funny problem but really important - please help!
I set up logging to find out causes of some tech problems occuring during my calls, as it described here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12321/how-do-i-create-log-files
So, I get now /Logs folder with .log files.
But they are not text files and I don't know what this format is and what tool can read them(
Skype tech support doesn't know as well. Please help, who knows, how to read these .log files?
Thanks!
ps my OS is Ubuntu Linux

It's somewhat odd that the Skype tech support staffer you spoke with doesn't know what to do with the logs, as the instructions you posted say to place them in a ZIP file and sent it to them. Since the log files I observed start with 'BLOGBEGIN,' there must be software to parse the file. Also...you never described the tech problems during calls which prompted you to enable logging; and if Skype Support suggested it (which seems doubtful, given they didn't know what to do with the files). Perhaps you can provide a description of the issue?

How can I search for details in job log files

Hi,
I'm looking for a specific entry in the job log. I don't know when it was written (other than the date), to find the log without trial and error, I need a specific time to open the correct one in IDC.
The entry was written by the modifyADSuser pass and it would have an userID tag in the log file but there are many hundreds a day for me to hunt through. If I could find where identity center pulls the log files from I could either use a SQL select (if it's held in the database) or text search (if it's held in a folder) to zero in on the correct log file. Does anyone know where the information that's shown in the IDC job logs is stored?
Thanks,
Pete

Thanks for the response, I checked MC_LOGS and that looks to be the same detail that is available in the management console, basically the rows displayed in the job log. Do you know the table relationship after MC_LOGS, what's the tale name for the data (even if encrypted) that details each pass etc?
Thanks,
Pete
