No console.log files under Leopard?

I just wanted to look inside an old console.log file from a view days ago, but I can't find it under Mac OS X 10.5 anymore. Will the Console Messages don't be saved in files under Leopard?
Under Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger the files where saved in /Library/Logs/Console/501/console.log (and console.log.0, console.log.1, console.log.2, ...)

Well, from Leopard's own Console help:
The console and system log messages are stored in the log database in the ASL.db file. The console log messages come from applications run by the current user.
So no more textfiles, it would seem, and some Unix wizardry will probably be needed to extract and save the console log text from the binary database file before it is automatically rotated out.

  • Errors in Console Log file

    We are seeing hundreds of these errors in our console log file:
    mediaserver automount[4510]: Can't mount servername.domain.ooo.oo:/username on /private/Network/Servers/servername.domain.ooo.oo/username: Invalid argument (22)
    Historically, users have had their home areas mount normally in the dock (as specified in our MCX settings for the group they are in), but of late we have been seeing only some of them getting mounted; and more than this the server is suffering random kernel panics throughout the week.
    Any idea?
    Paul

    Hi Paul
    That would be the one. Stuff also gets logged in /var/log/system.log.
    After a kernel panic you could go into single user command line and just see what got logged perhaps?
    tail -30 /var/log/system.log
    Shows the last 30 entries. I think this is better than doing the whole log because it would take ages to scroll through it all. You could expand this to the last 50-60 entries. You never know it might log something? For example you may see a shutdown cause error followed by a number -93 or -122. You could review the energy saver settings just to make sure nothing is enabled that should be. Possibly the UPS may want looking at?
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • Cannot tail -nXX massive console.log file

    Some process on my system spins out of control now and again and I end up with 15Gb console.log files. Two of those and my system disk has 0kb left and I've gotta clean 'em out before I can stagger back to life.
    I want to get to the bottom of the problem, but every time I try and open one of those large files using the Console tool, it belches and can't really handle it - lots of beachball spinning. Nor can I <tail> the file - I get a ton of control charcters and a lot of beeping.
    So - how can I read these large files so I can find out what process to hone in on?
    (Mac mini, 10.4.7)

    hmm you could try 'split'ing one giant log file (and tailing the split files)
    that'd be : split -b xxxx console.log or split -C xxxx console.log
    -b says put xxxx bytes per file -c says put at most xxxx bytes of lines per file
    or try doing this:
    wc -l console.log
    (NOTE OUTPUT) thats xxx -- now subtract a good size and call it yyy
    sed -n -e "yyy,$ p" > endoflog.log
    (View endoflog.log)

  • DNSService error and self expanding console.log file

    Just like misskool, I had a problem with self-expanding console.log files. As suggested by roam, I erased the com.apple.iTunes.plist file to fix the issue. Unfortunately, 2 days after, the same problem started again. I noticed it happened soon after I tried (without success) to establish a mac OS 10.3.9 to mac OS 10.4.9 wireless network - either that or the re-activation of AppleTalk on my iBook. The error message in the console.log file is a repeated one-liner :
    DNSServiceProcessResult() returned an error! -65537
    The original advice from roam worked until I tried to network my two macs. In his idea, iTunes was the probable origin of the problem. Is it ?

    The mDNS error message was associated with an iTunes update, though that is not to say it is caused by iTunes though it may well have. The error is from the mDNS service, a system wide network service, which looks for available services on the network.
    I don't know what is causing this error but it has been known about since 2005, evidenced by this thread. It is a highly technical discussion,
    http://lists.apple.com/archives/Bonjour-dev/2005/Jul/msg00023.html
    which talks about the error occurring when two ethernet interfaces are active, but does not err when only with one. It is possible this observation is linked to your experience trying to network two Macs.
    Click on the Next Threads on that page to read more.
    Another thing to note is that the error code given is general and undescriptive, where one poster writes " Normally when you see that error it means that mDNSResponder (mdnsd) crashed." ... but there is no specific meaning given to the error code as to why it did.
    So it's a bug but I cannot explain why it occurs or what role the iTunes update played in bringing it to the fore.
    If it continues to be a problem with the same error message printing in the console, open Activity Monitor and mDNS should be active there and kill that mDNS Process.
    As i have no iTunes updated, and do not want to try and create this error, I'll leave it up to you to try and determine some causes and effects regarding the renegade process of mDNS.

  • 56GB Console Log file?!

    Does anyone know why my computer would have created a Console Log file that is 56gigs? It ate my computer's (74gig) hard drive, so i can't even view the log file to see what it contains. I'd like to delete it but fear some computational retribution. Any thoughts, insights, suggestions? Many thanks.

    Try running this command:

    If that doesn't work, please run this:
    sudo find / -name com.apple.nibindd*
    The output file should be a file called com.apple.nibindd.plist
    Just reenter the command above like so:
    *sudo lauchctl -w /<path to>/com.apple.nibindd.plist*
    I suspect you may have a file left over from the Tiger Netinfo Manager.

  • Web server log files under LabVIEW RT

    Hello,
    Is there any log files for the web server under LabVIEW RT running on a PXI?  The log file checkbox is disable in the target options.
    Also, is there a way to find out if the web server is running on the target?
    I'm asking the question because I can't access anymore a remote panel (and even the root of the web server) on my PXI.  I reinstall everything and I still have the issue.  I'm pretty sure that IT changes some network settings but they say no.  I need to validate that everything is working on my side before before taking further action.
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Hi Patrick, 
    I would suggest having the log file checkbox enabled in the target options.  That should show if errors are occurring while it is running. Are you running remote front panels and web services, or just remote front panels?
    Can you provide a picture of all the software you have installed on your PXI?  You should be able to find this in MAX under the PXI in Remote Systems.

  • Console Log files taking up 7gb of space.

    I am trying to clear up some space on an old eMac. I have come accross two log files one called console.log.0 which is taking up 1 gb, and console.log.3 which is taking up 5.8gb. Both of these files are located in Macintosh HD/Libary/Logs/Console/emac (emac is the username). What are these files for, and is there anyway I can take back this space?
    Thanks, James.

    go ahead and trash them. or open the Console app, and clear the log files.

  • Where to find out the log file under java developer role

    Hi,
    I have some application created in NWDS. While running it after the PAR deployment and all. some exception is thrown. the exception iD is given.  I was trying to find out wher the log files are located in the portal so that I can analyze the exception.
    I think it is under the java developer role....but under that......I checked the log viewer tool and all.....but exactly where the log files would be located. so that with the exception ID , I can search and find out the log for the particular exception.
    any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Steelman,
    Use the search option in log viewer for this purpose. In the server it would be located in
    <i>usr/sap/sid/jc00/cluster/server0/logs</i>
    Hope this helps.

  • Console log file 32Gigs big!

    Has anyone had a log file of 32Gigs big? in one day?
    How can we delete these? I am not sure but I think the problem is with a new software I installed; WengoPhone...
    I do not even know what to look for inside the logfiles.
    Thanks

    It isn't uncommon for log files to balloon when an application is constantly spitting out errors or messages. If you look in the file, you might find reference to what the error or application is. Typically, you're going to find a message, or group of messages repeated over and over.
    If the problem is with WengoPhone, I'd ditch it right away. If you'd absolutely need the app, I'd contact their support immediately. If you can post a snippet of the error message, it may be possible to determine what is causing it.

  • Show information in log file under Vivado 2015.1?

    In XST and in Vivado through 2014.4 I used something like:
      assert false report "FFV_D sees KEEP_HIERARCHY: " & Value(KeepHierarchy) severity NOTE;
    to figure out what was going on in Vivado during synthesis.
    With Vivado 2015.1, instead of the report from the constant condition assert statement, I now get:
      WARNING: [Synth 8-312] ignoring unsynthesizable construct: assertion statement [h:/Eng/MVhdl/Src/Base/MReg.vhd:1731]
    Is there some other means to write report information into the Vivado log during synthesis?
    I most use this so that I can verify the state of generics within entities, but I use the mechanism all the time for debugging synthesis.
    Ian Lewis
    www.mstarlabs.com
     

    Hello Brian,
    I certainly hope that Vivado has some means of reporting from within HDL.
    I agree that removing static condition assert support is a horrible idea, especially since the Vivado synthesis log does not provide even as good information as XST did: http://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Synthesis/Requests-for-Vivado-synthesis-log-changes/td-p/590481 . Or, at least, I cannot interpret the Vivado synthesis log at all well.
    I have not yet read enough copies of the log for different conditions to be sure that it is fundamentally unclear, but more and more it looks to me like it just does not include enough information for anyone to know exactly what Vivado has done with respect to generic bindings for specific instances. I know it does not include enough information to even have a clue what it has done with respect to applying attributes.
    In any case, even if Vivado synthesis provided a perfect and complete implementation of VHDL, and its log contained every bit of information one could imagine wanting to show how it binds entities and generics, it is essential to be able to see what the compiler is really doing at the level of one's own code: you can read the LRM until you are blue, but at some point you need to see what is really happening in a specific instance of code.
    And, there is good reason to report into the log some facts about how one configured an entity at a higher level than the individual generics so you can quickly see that you did what you intended to do.
    I could live with changing our asserts to something else, but some means to report into the log is important. It is not just some whim.

  • Lion Preview and Textedit very slow when opening files from Leopard Server

    My small office (about 10 users) recently upgraded our iMac's, Mac Mini's, and Macbook Pro's.  We are experiencing a big problem with Preview opening super slow (1-2 minutes) when trying to open JPG's, PDF's, etc from our 10.5.8 Leopard Server.  We have deleted numerous plist files related to Preview, completely deleted Preview.app from one iMac and reinstalled it via Pacifist and still no change in performance.  One of the new iMac's does open much faster than the others, but we cannot figure out why this one machine works well and the others don't.
    All machines are showing the below error (dozens of times) in Console when trying to open files directly from the server...
    sandboxd:  ([###])  Preview(###) deny system-fsctl
    We have searched the internet for a solution but have not come up with anything that works.  This problem exists with Textedit as well.  We did try opening a file from one Lion machine to the other and it opened very fast.  We also can open files very quickly from older 10.4.11 Tiger machines directly from the server.  So the best we can determine right now is Lion and Leopard Server are not playing nicely together.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I have pasted (one of) the console log files below for reference.

    "Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
    The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away

  • How has access.log file configured in WebLogic server 10.0?

    1.) I am using BEA Weblogic 10.0 and my access.log is not getting updated.
    2.) I also need any information as to how this Webblogic server forms chunks (ex....access00011.log,access00012.log) because i have a software called AWStats which merges all these chunks into 1 single access.log file under its subdirectory.
    3.) I also need information as to how and where the user can specify/ form his own fields which gets displayed in the access.log
    FYI i have 2 servers and i checked under Logging->HTTP->advanced, in both the servers options and configurations are same but in 1 it works fine and access.log is updating but not in the other one.
    Kindly let me know i you have any leads into this issue!
    Thanks,
    Varun

    Hi Ravish,
    Firstly thanks for the reply.
    1.) -----
    What you can do is to set the buffer-size-kb parameter value to "0" in config.xml so that it can start logging once the server starts coming up rather then waiting for the default size which is 8kb to pass.
    Something like below:
    <web-server-log>
    <buffer-size-kb>0</buffer-size-kb>
    <web-server-log>
    For more details check the below link:
    Search for: CR302493
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/issues/known_resolved.html
    --- for this issue i had browsed throught the forum before posting but in my conf file i have something like this instead of <buffer-size-kb>0</buffer-size-kb>
    <web-server>
    <web-server-log>
    <number-of-files-limited>false</number-of-files-limited>
    <log-file-format>extended</log-file-format>
    </web-server-log>
    </web-server>
    So how do i go about the path of debugging now??
    2.) -------
    If you do not want rotation of access.log then you can just disable it from the below console path just by putting Rotation type as None
    Server -> <YOUR_SERVER_NAME> -> Logging (tab) -> HTTP (sub-tab) -> Rotation type: None
    ---- for this in both my servers i have the settings like this,
    Rotation type--> By Size
    Rotation File size 5000
    Begin rotation time 00:00
    rotation interval 24
    files to retain 7
    and Log file rotation directory is left blank (to get created in same directory)
    and also Rotate log file on startup is unchecked.
    so??? what do you suggest!?
    3.) ------
    I also need information as to how and where the user can specify/ form his own fields which gets displayed in the access.log
    ---- regarding this, in my main server the access.log is getting updated and after 4.8Mb its creating 5Mb chunks. So, for example if the entire log is of 15 Mb then access.log stops updating at 4.98Mb and accesslog.out0001 and accesslog.out0002 is created with 5Mb each but the latest entry will be stored in accesslog.out0002 file. I hope i didn't complicate this :)
