Logging File Management Activity

We are trying to figure out if Dreamweaver keeps a text file that logs the history of renaming and moving files within a site. We want a list of both the old and new file name and path for each file moved and/or renamed within Dreamweaver. We tried the "Log..." button below the Files pane in Dreamweaver 8, but after making some test changes we found that it lists "File activity complete" for each change made instead of the specific changes applied. Is there a way to get this list? Or do we need to use subversion software in order to do this?
Thank you!

The log feature is meant for syncing local vs. server. If you must track local changes, indeed you will need to use other tools. I'm not sure how you fall for Subversion, though. Since it uses explicit check-in/check-out it doesn't really track anything automatically and its primary purpose is documenting changes inside specific files, anyways, not their location. It would also many times duplicate files rather than just move them, as it uses its own versioning. What you want could be achieved using tools like GridIron Flow or, most simply, by configuring your intranet file server software to use shadow copies and log all user activity.

DB2 Log file Management is not happening properly

Hi experts,
I am running SAP ERP6.0 EHP4 on DB2 9.5 FP4
I have enabled Archive log by providing First Log Archive Method (LOGARCHMETH1) =DISK: /db2/PRD/log_archive
I have brought down SAP & Database and started database .After starting DB , taken full offline backup.
Didnu2019t change below parameters as these are replaced by LOGARCHMETH1 in newer versions as per documents.
Log retain for recovery enabled=OFF
User exit for logging enabled =OFF
/db2/PRD/log_dir (Online transaction Logs) is 25% full but I couldnu2019t find even single file in /db2/PRD/log_archive
I am suspecting DB2 Log file Management is not happening properly as I couldnu2019t find any offline transaction logs in /db2/PRD/log_archive file system
Request you let me know where it went wrong & what could be the issue
thanks

Hello,
From your post it seems that there is a space character between "DISK:" and the path you have provided.
Maybe this is only a wrong display here in the forum.
Nevertheless, can you check it in your system, it should rather look like DISK:/db2/PRD/log_archive.
Can you initiate an archive command with the "db2 archive log for db prd" command.
What does the db2diag.log tell for this archiving attempt?

ACS -current log file CSMonLog Active.csv is showing blank

under ACS service monitoring TAB, the current log file CSMonLog Active.csv is showing blank ?
Could anyone let me know why this happens ?

CSMon—CSMon service is responsible for the monitoring, recording, and notification of Cisco Secure CS ACS performance, and includes automatic response to some scenarios. For instance,TACACS+ and RADIUS service dies, CS ACS by default restarts all the services, unless otherwise configured. Monitoring includes monitoring the overall status of Cisco Secure ACS and the system on which it is running. CSMon actively monitors three basic sets of system parameters:
    Generic host system state—monitors disk space, processor utilization, and memory utilization.
    Application-specific performance—periodically performs a test login each minute using a special built-in test account by default.
    System resource consumption by Cisco Secure ACS—CSMon periodically monitors and records the usage by Cisco Secure ACS of a small set of key system resources. Handles counts, memory utilization, processor utilization, thread used, and failed log-on attempts, and compares these to predetermined thresholds for indications of atypical behavior.
CSMon works with CSAuth to keep track of user accounts that are disabled for exceeding their failed attempts count maximum. If configured, CSMon provides immediate warning of brute force attacks by alerting the administrator that a large number of accounts have been disabled.
By default CSMon records exception events in logs both in the CSV file and Windows Event Log that you can use to diagnose problems. Optionally you can configure event notification via e-mail so that notification for exception events and outcomes includes the current state of Cisco Secure ACS at the time of the message transmission. The default notification method is simple mail-transfer protocol (SMTP) e-mail, but you can create scripts to enable other methods. However, if the event is a failure, CSMon takes the actions that are hard-coded when the triggering event is detected. If the event is a warning event, it is logged, the administrator is notified if it is configured, and no further action is taken. After a sequence of re-tries, CSMon also attempts to fix the cause of the failure and individual service restarts. It is possible to integrate custom-defined action with CSMon service, so that a user-defined action can be taken based on specific events.
Answering your query: This may be a brand new installation OR none of ACS services restarted lately so logs OR CSMON logging might have disabled under system configuration > Logging.

How open and see Log File in Active Directory

Hello Friends.. ^-^
how i can open log files active directory and see this data files ?
Can export this logs ?
thanks for help.

And adds a definition of edbxxxxx.log for completeness:
These are auxiliary transaction logs used to store changes if the main Edb.log file
gets full before it can be flushed toNtds.dit.
The xxxxx stands for a sequential number in hex. When the Edb.log file
fills up, an Edbtemp.log file
is opened. The original Edb.log file
is renamed to Edb00001.log, and Edbtemp.log is
renamed to Edb.log file,
and the process starts over again. Excess log files are deleted after they have been committed. You may see more than one Edbxxxxx.log file
if a busy domain controller has many updates pending.

Moving the log file of a publisher database SQL Server 2008

There are many threads on this here. Most of them not at all helpful and some of them wrong. Thus a fresh post.
This post regards SQL Server 2008 (10.0.5841)
The PUBLISHER database primary log file which is currently of 3 blocks and not extendable,
must be moved as the LUN is going away.
The database has several TB of data and a large number of push transactional replications as well as a couple of bi-directional replications.
While the primary log file is active, it is almost never (if ever) used due to its small fixed size.
We are in the 20,000 TPS range at peak (according to perfmon). This is a non-trivial installation.
This means that
backup/restore is not even a remotely viable option (it never is in the real world)
downtime minimization is critical - measured in minutes or less.
dismantling and recreating the replications is doable, but I have to say, I have zero trust in the script writer to generate accurate scripts. Many of these replications were originally set up in older versions of SQL Server and have come along for the
ride as upgrades have occurred. I consider scripting everything and dismantling the whole lot pretty high risk. In any case, I do not want to have to reinitialize any replications as this takes, effectively, an eternity.
Possible solution:
The only option I can think of is to wind down everything, such that there are zero outstanding uncommitted transactions and detach the database, delete the offending log file and reattach using the CREATE DATABASE xyz ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG option.
This should, if I have understood things correctly, cause SQL Server to recreate the default log file in the same directory as the .mdf file. I am not sure what will happen to the secondary log file which is not moving anywhere at this point.
The hard bit is insuring that every transaction in the active log files have been replicated before shutdown. This is probably doable. I do not know how to manually flush any left over transactions to replication. I expect if I shut down all "real"
activity and wait for a certain amount of time, eventually all the replications will show "No replicated transactions are available" and then I would be good to go.
Hillary, if you happen to be there, comments appreciated.

Hi Philip
you should try this long back suggested way of stopping replication and restore db and rename or detach attach

I do not wish to be rude, but which part of the OP didn't you understand?
Specifically the bit about 20,000 transactions a second and database size of several TB. Do you have any concept whatsoever of what this means? I will answer for you, "no, you are clueless" as your answer clearly shows.
Stop wasting bandwidth by proposing pointless and wrong solutions which indicate that you did not read the OP, or do you just do this to generate points?

903/Enterprise; log files grow boundlessly and weekly bounces are needed

This feed back is the result of an eval of 903 IAS
enterprise on Solaris, 2 box cluster.
This feed back is FYI.
After installing IAS Enterprise 903 many times, testing
stop/start/reboot use cases I noticed that many internal
log files grow boundlessly.
I've seen the notes on turning down log levels. This
is still far from adequate. Log files in a 24x365
architecture must be managable and have finite maximum disk
space consumption sizes setable.
Framework error events also need to be hooked into an Enterprise
error and alert protocol. SNMP is not my favorite, but it's
a start. JMX is my favorite. Also check out the free
Big Brother monitor; www.bb4.com and it's wire protocol.
Thanks and best of luck,
Curt

Just curious whether other folks have any opinions on
OEM's suitability for a high rel. environment?
On log file management?

Log file size in Sun Access Manager

Does anyone have an idea about the how the Sun Access Manager's log file size will increase in size with respective to the actions performed?
Can someone give a data regarding this? If someone has a better scenario and the supportive data w.r.t log file size it will be helpful.
Thanks,

I would like to take the log files backup daily (for future reference).
I need to know the following:
1) What log files need to be backup? Do I need to take all am*.* files (It will be around 3.5 GB in size)?
2) Ideally, I believe that only few MB of data goes into these am*.* files but, I cannot store every day 3.5 + GB of logs
3) I observed that these files (am*.* have every days activity added to them), So I would like to enable the Log rotation
Please let me know how can I proceed.
Thanks

Enterprise manager log file sizes

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way of managing the size of the emdb.nohup file in Enterprise Manager. Looking at the documentation, it looks as though you can control the emoms trace and log file sizes, but I can't find anything about the nohup log.
Ideally I would like to be able to purge the log file.
Thanks very much!

Hi again,
I found the emdb.nohup file in my log directory at the location you noted. It is apparently created when I stopped and restarted my dbconsole (emctl start dbconsole) and is updated each time I make a connection to that database (for which you are connecting), and for every time the page refreshes.
I think the name of the file using a suffix of nohup is probably intentional on Oracle's part to indicate that this is a log file that is 'active', but in reality, it is not a true nohup file as in the sense of using the unix nohup command. (at least that is what I'm thinking)
Sorry I'm not knowledgeable enough on this to be sure of my theory, but that is what I basically theorize.
According to man pages on nohup, it states nohup is "a utility immune to hangups".
"nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty"
To answer your question, there is no problem purging or pruning this file.
I just cleared it out by sending a date to the file which effectively clears it out except for a new entry in the file with the current date/timestamp.
e.g., $ date > emdb.nohup
Then, I reconnected to my OEM console for this database and it updated the file with new entries for the new connection. No problem....

Question about how Oracle manages Redo Log Files

Good morning,
Assuming a configuration that consists of 2 redo log groups (Group A and B), each group consisting of 2 disks (Disks A1 & A2 for Group A and Disks B1 and B2 for group B). Further, let's assume that each redo log file resides by itself in a disk storage device and that the device is dedicated to it. Therefore in the above scenario, there are 4 disks, one for each redo log file and, each disk contains nothing else other than a redo log file. Furthermore, let's assume that the database is in ARCHIVELOG mode and that the archive files are stored on yet another different set of devices.
sort of graphically:
    GROUP A             GROUP B
      A1                  B1
      A2                  B2The question is: When the disks that comprise Group A are filled and Oracle switches to the disks in Group B, can the disks in Group A be taken offline, maybe even physically removed from the system if necessary, without affecting the proper operation of the database ? Can the Archiver process be temporarily delayed until the disks (that were removed) are brought back online or is the DBA forced to wait until the Archiver process has finished creating a copy of the redo log file into the archive ?
Thank you for your help,
John.

Hello,
Dropping Log Groups
To drop an online redo log group, you must have the ALTER DATABASE system privilege. Before dropping an online redo log group, consider the following restrictions and precautions:
* An instance requires at least two groups of online redo log files, regardless of the number of members in the groups. (A group is one or more members.)
* You can drop an online redo log group only if it is inactive. If you need to drop the current group, first force a log switch to occur.
* Make sure an online redo log group is archived (if archiving is enabled) before dropping it. To see whether this has happened, use the V$LOG view.
SELECT GROUP#, ARCHIVED, STATUS FROM V$LOG;
GROUP# ARC STATUS
1 YES ACTIVE
2 NO CURRENT
3 YES INACTIVE
4 YES INACTIVE
Drop an online redo log group with the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE with the DROP LOGFILE clause.
The following statement drops redo log group number 3:
ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 3;
When an online redo log group is dropped from the database, and you are not using the Oracle Managed Files feature, the operating system files are not deleted from disk. Rather, the control files of the associated database are updated to drop the members of the group from the database structure. After dropping an online redo log group, make sure that the drop completed successfully, and then use the appropriate operating system command to delete the dropped online redo log files.
When using Oracle-managed files, the cleanup of operating systems files is done automatically for you.
Your Database wont be affected as you can operate with 2 redo log files in each group as The minimum number of redo log files required in a database is two because the LGWR (log writer) process writes to the redo log files in a circular manner. so the process will hang becuase you are having 2 only groups if you want to remove 1 add a third one and make it the current group then remove the one you want to be offline.
Please refer to:

How to fetch and display arbitrary log files from a managed host?

We are creating a small management portal for a custom application and need a way to display, in a browser, the contents of an arbitrary log file located on an EM managed host. The effect we are looking for is similar to what you get when you show the contents of a database alert log using EM.
I want to extend the EM agent to get the log and display the contents, but see two problems: (1) it seems like we would have to schedule the fetch of the log contents to happen on a regular basis and would not be able to do it on demand and (2) storing the results in the EM repository seems like it could consume a pile of storage, even if it only stores the logs for 24 hours.
I am pretty sure we can bypass the repository somehow because I think the "show database alert log" EM process does so. Of course, I can't really be sure how this code is getting the alert log, but it seems reasonable to assume it is using the management agent.
Is there some API for the EM Agent that I am missing?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

From within OEM it doesnt look possible. User defined metrics (UDM) can only return number or a string. The alertlog fetch is done via alertlogViewer.pl while being passed a couple of parameters.
OEM does have a preliminary/rough api available at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oem/emx/index.html but I havent seen anyone make use of it yet.
If you use just a web connection then you will probably run into security issues as a web server can usually only view/access stuff under their htmldoc dir.
Seems like some non-OEM very custom code is what you seek..

Delete Log File: Correspondence in Training and Event Management ( t77vp)

Hi Niladri,
Please open a new discussion for this as it's a different question. Not only is this stated in the guidelines and makes it easier for other members to search for the right things, but it also increases your chances of getting the right answers, because users know you are looking at LSO rather than TEM and because many users, sadly, are driven by points primarily for giving answers and know you could not mark their answer as correct, because it's not your post.

Problem about space management of archived log files

Dear friends,
I have a problem about space management of archived log files.
my database is Oracle 10g release 1 running in archivelog mode. I use OEM(web based) to config all the backup and recovery settings.
I config "Flash Recovery Area" to do backup and recovery automatically. my daily backup schedule is every night at 2:00am. and my backup setting is "disk settings"--"compressed backup set". the following is the RMAN script:
Daily Script:
run {
allocate channel oem_disk_backup device type disk;
recover copy of database with tag 'ORA$OEM_LEVEL_0';
backup incremental level 1 cumulative copies=1 for recover of copy with tag 'ORA$OEM_LEVEL_0' database;
the retention policy is the second choice, that is "Retain backups that are necessary for a recovery to any time within the specified number of days (point-in-time recovery)". the recovery window is 1 day.
I assign enough space for flash recovery area. my database size is about 2G. I assign 20G as flash recovery area.
now here is the problem, through oracle online manual, it said oracle can manage the flash recovery area automatically, that is, when the space is full, it can delete the obsolete archived log files. but in fact, it never works! whenever the space is full, the database will hang up! besides, the status of archived log files is very strange, for example, it can change "obsolete" stauts from "yes" to "no", and then from "no" to "yes". I really have no idea about this! even though I know oracle usually keep archived files for some longer days than retention policy, but I really don't know why the obsolete status can change automatically. although I can write a schedule job to delete obsolete archived files every day, but I just want to know the reason. my goal is to backup all the files on disk and let oracle automatically manage them.
also, there is another problem about archive mode. I have two oracle 10g databases(release one), the size of db1 is more than 20G, the size of db2 is about 2G. both of them have the same backup and recovery policy, except I assign more flash recovery area for db1. both of them are on archive mode. both of nearly nobody access except for the schedule backup job and sometime I will admin through oem. the strange thing is that the number of archived log files of smaller database, db2, are much bigger than ones of bigger database. also the same situation for the size of the flashback logs for point-in-time recovery. (I enable flashback logging for fast database point-in-time recovery, the flashback retention time is 24 hours.) I found the memory utility of smaller database is higher than bigger database. nearly all the time the smaller database's memory utility keeps more than 99%. while the bigger one's memory utility keeps about 97%. (I enable "Automatic Shared Memory Management" on both databases.) but both database's cup and queue are very low. I'm nearly sure no one hack the databases. so I really have no idea why the same backup and recovery policy will result so different result, especially the smaller one produces more redo logs than bigger one. does there anyone happen to know the reason or how should I do to check the reason?
by the way, I found web based OEM can't reflect the correct database status when the database shutdown abnormally. for example, if the database hang up because of out of flash recovery area, after I assign more flash recovery area space and then restart the database, the OEM usually can't reflect the correct database status. I must restart OEM manually to correctly reflect the current database status. does there anyone know in what situation I should restart OEM to reflect the correct database status?
sorry for the long message, I just want to describe in details to easy diagnosis.
any hint will be greatly appreciated!
Sammy

thank you very much, in fact, my site's oracle never works about managing archive files automatically although I have tried all my best. at last, I made a job running daily to check the archive files and delete them.
thanks again.

Log Files out of Control - How to manage size?

This is a two part question:
1) Our Apache2 error log has grown to 41 GB!!! How can we clear it?
2) Is there a way to limit log file growth?
3) Is there an application to manage log files on a server?
We are running Leopard Server 10.5.x.
Thanks!

1) How do we set up apache to rotate logs? I was checking server admin->web service for configuration options, but didn't see any (we did advanced server configuration).
It's automatic, and AFAIK enabled by default within Mac OS X Server. If you're piling up stuff in your logs, then your server is either very busy, or there are issues or problems being reported in the logs.
2) Where in server admin?
Server Admin > select server > Web > Sites > Logging
Or as an alternative approach toward learning more about Mac OS X Server and its technologies, download the PDF of the relevant [Apple manual|http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html]. Here, you can brute-force search the manual in the Preview tool. Depending on how you best learn, you can read through the various manuals for details on how to configure and operate and troubleshoot the various components, and (for more detail than is available in the Mac OS X Server manuals) for pointers to the component-specific web sites and documents, too.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control log file location

Any one knows where the log file is for Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control. I am trying to set up EUS proxy authentication and running into issues when trying to search proxy user in my DB. The search returns no results and I am not sure where to look for. Please not my setup does work for EUS with shared or exclusive schema. I need to use Oracle DB proxy authentication for my application and that would need a setup of EUS with proxy permissions so please advice if you know where the log file is for Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control or if there is any logging I can turn on to see what search parameters are passed from Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control to my DB by using DB audit etc.
Thanks,

Be patient...wait for report.
If after some time report does not appear, go to Advisor Central and find it there.
