Server Alert log location in 10G?

Hi All,
Can someone tell me what's the location for the Server alert log in 10g. Like we have in 11g in $GRID_HOME/log/servername location.
Regards,
Manish Singh.

Manish,
Server logs will be present under $GRID_HOME/log/host_name followed by different-2 folder containing different logs of cluster process.
Which log you are referring too ? For each specific cluster component you need to go to component specific folders and look for its logs.
Like :
Grid_home/log/host_name/crsd
Grid_home/log/host_name/cssd
etc etc.
Read the below link for more information:

How to check instance alert.log in RAC 10g ASM environment?

i know to use Grid control or OEM check instance alert.log?
But since in ASM the alert.log is not recognized, how to check it in OS level just like regular non-RAC checking?
or the best way to check it ?
thanks a lot!

thanks a lot!Well if you mean that you have put the alert over asm storage than where did it mention to put alert file over ASM? Is not like an o/s where one can go and read the file and surely, neither we need striping or mirroring of it either. I am not sure that there is any way to do so over ASM storage.

Server access logs location

Where are Leopard's built-in server's access logs physically located?
Also, is there a fairly easy way to block an IP from accessing your server?

They are located in /var/log
system.log and secure.log are the main access ones.
If you are looking at web access only, those are in /var/log/apache2
If you're familiar with the terminal, you can grep through them, otherwise the console utility is rather nice, and allows you to filter by certain strings.
Blocking IPs can be done by a firewall. OS X does have a built in firewall which you could use to block a certain IP. Someone else may need to chime in with the details.
If you provide more information on what kind of intrusion attempts you're looking at, it will be easier to offer additional help.

Alert Log Management

Hi All
My database is on Windows machine OS version MS Windows 2003 SP2 64 bit with genuine intel processor from EM 64T family. The alert log is expected to capture all error messages and for a DBA it points one of the most important trouble shooting areas if any problem with the database is referred to .. also does it grow continuously as the database ages in time ..
Earlier on UNIX machines I used to backup the alert log file for future referance and then would trim the file size so that it wont grow beyond manageable limits.. I was using vi editor, cp command and other unix filters like head etc..
but on windows we do not have the filters .. neither could I open the alert log file trim the top few lines and save it so that its size is still manageable by the os.. I am at the moment clueless as to how could I do this activity.. I was doing some google offlate and learnt that for listener log, we have some options like
lsnrctl set file_name <NEW LOG FILE_NAME>
to refresh the listener log to a new file and thus avoid it growing huge in size. Do we have any such fascility for managing alert log as well? It would not always be possible to shut down the database just to trim the alert log file.. and on windows I am not sure about other options..
Thank you ..
Sarat.

Here is from a previous post:
I've been managing Oracle database mostly on Linux for years. Now I'm in an all windows shop and need a script to check my alert logs. Batch programming is junk, can't be trusted, errorlevel is worthless, so I wrote this little program.

' Set this to the text pattern you want to grep for

Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork")
v_computername = objNet.ComputerName
v_mail_from = v_computername & "@someplace.com"

'wscript.echo "No log file" & v_alert_log

end if

Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager console giving Alert log

Dear all
I have One HP server running Oracle 10g on Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and two other systems with Oracle 9i and 8i. I have written sql query in my Oracle10g system which updates the database in 9i.
The sql statement is
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW ADASNAP REFRESH FAST START WITH SYSDATE NEXT SYSDATE+1 AS
SELECT * FROM ADA@WCMMISLINK;
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW BGTABSNAP REFRESH FAST START WITH SYSDATE NEXT SYSDATE+1 AS
SELECT * FROM BGTAB@WCMMISLIN;
The above query is sheduled to run every day .
and i get the following Alert log in 10g enterprise manager console
Generic Alert log ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 54
ORA-04052: error occured when looking up remote object WCMM.SYS@WCMMSERVERLINK
ORA-00604: error occured at recursive SQL level 3
ORA-12514: tns no listener
ORA-06512: AT "SYS.DBMS_SNAPSHOT" line 1883
can you guid me why the above error are occuring
the ORA-12514: tns no listener
the above error why it is occuring , then listener is running on oracle 10g server and other 8i and 9i server also and i am able to connect from oracle10g to other oracle 8i and 9i from sql plus and viceversa..
what could be the problem with tns listener
Regards
Niranjan

Hi Ugonic
Sorry both are same, it's spelling mistake it's " WCMMISLINK". Acutally, my database is getting updated but this alert log is getting generated in enterprise manager console of 10g.
The sql statement is
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW ADASNAP REFRESH FAST START WITH SYSDATE NEXT SYSDATE+1 AS
SELECT * FROM ADA@WCMMISLINK;
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW BGTABSNAP REFRESH FAST START WITH SYSDATE NEXT SYSDATE+1 AS
SELECT * FROM BGTAB@WCMMISLINK;
The above query is sheduled to run every day .
and i get the following Alert log in 10g enterprise manager console
Generic Alert log ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 54

ORA-00604: error occured at recursive SQL level 3
ORA-12514: tns no listener
ORA-06512: AT "SYS.DBMS_SNAPSHOT" line 1883
can you guid me why the above error are occuring

Alert Log File Monitoring of 8i and 9i Databases with EM Grid Control 10g

Is it possible to monitor alert log errors in Oracle 8i/9i Databases with EM Grid Control 10g and EM 10g agents? If yes, is it possible to get some kind of notification?
I know that in 10g Database, it is possible to use server generated alerts, but what about 8i/9i?
Regards,
Martin

Hello
i am interested in a very special feature: is it possible to get notified if alerts occur in alert logs in an 8i/9i database when using Grid control and the 10g agent on the 8i/9i systems?
Moreover, the 10g agent should be able to get Performance Data using the v$ views or direct sga access without using statspack, right?
Do you know where I can find documentation about the supported features when using Grid Control with 8i/9i databases?

db 접속이(client) "tns 리스너 소켓을 찾을수..." 이런 메세지만 나오며
db 가 설치되어있는 서버에서 sql-plus 접속이 위와같은 메세지로 접속이 되지 않았습니다.
status는 모든 인스턴스가 정상적으로 작동중이었구요..
그래서 서버 그냥 off 시켰다가 on 시키니깐 정상으로 돌아왔는데
불안하네요...이런문제...
혹시 보시고 답변좀 부탁합니다.

ALERT 내용만 보면 아래 두개의 증상과 비슷하네요.
첫번째는 alter system set undo_retention=1800 sid='*' 명령문을 node1으로 지정해서 실행하면 모든 instance 가 행업이 걸리는 현상이 있네요. 명령문을 없애주거나 아니면 모든 sid 별로 다 실행을 해주라고 나와있네요.
Symptoms
3 nodes RAC system on 10.1.0.4. The command "alter system set undo_retention=1800 sid='*';" was issued on node1, immeidately all instances hang. User can not logon to instance 2 and 3. Logon to instance 1 is still OK but query hangs.Alert log on node 2 and 3 report:Timed out trying to start process J000.Timed out trying to start process q000.kkjcre1p: unable to spawn jobq slave processErrors in file /opt/oracle/admin/RAC/bdump/rac3_cjq0_4229.trc
Cause
This is caused by unpublished Bug.3023661 RAC INSTANCE HANGS WHEN MODIFYING UNDO_RETENTION PARAMETER(or published Bug 4220405 ALTER SYSTEM SET UNDO_RETENTION=<N> HANGS RAC INSTANCES which has been closed as base bug 3023661)Bug 4220405 ALTER SYSTEM SET UNDO_RETENTION=<N> HANGS RAC INSTANCES which has been closed as base bug 3023661)The problem is caused by deadlock between CKPT and PZ99 slave. The internal algorithm to query thecurrent value of undo_retention of each instance and modify it has problem. It does unnecessary gv$ query andlob$ update when spfile is used. It is coding problem. The bug has been fixed in 10.2 and it is not backportable to 10.1.0.x due to code structure change.
Solution
Workaround is to modify one instance at a time, specify the detailed SID name for alter system command, eg:alter system set undo_retention=1800 sid='RAC1';alter system set undo_retention=1800 sid='RAC2';alter system set undo_retention=1800 sid='RAC3';......until all instances are modified.

Check alert log without loggin into the server ??

hello all,
Is there any way i can look at the last 30 - 50 lines in the alert log without going thru vi or any editor on unix system ?? I am on 10203 (hp - ux). and i have dba grant to me. But do not have access to the server to login as oracle to view the alert log...so i was wondering if there are any procedures handy or anyways to look at the alert log without loggin in to unix system??
THANK YOU..

"found dead shared server ... " errors occured in oracle alert log

Dear all,
I have found a error message in my oracle alert log which is "found dead shared server 's000, pid=(10,1)'". What's this mean? and this error will casue a core dump in ../cdump directory.
btw. Thanks the answers of antti.koskinen and yingkuan.

one more thing, my server is not configured as shared server mode, it is dedicated server mode. but I don't know why system inform me "found dead shared server..".

"found dead shared server" in alert.log

Hi,
Are you using MTS feature? If yes,
Then as given in the site:
http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid41_gci1018471,00.html
major issue I have seen with MTS is the dispatcher process getting abruptly killed. For some unknown reason the dispatcher process all of a sudden dies, killing the connected sessions. The following is an extract from the alert.log file for one such error:
Wed Sep 8 09:07:35 2004
Errors in file /u01/bdump/abc_d050_521.trc:
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [00000001026BA2D4] [SIGSEGV] [Address
not mapped to object] [0x000000018] [] []
Wed Sep 8 09:07:45 2004
found dead dispatcher 'D050', pid = (667, 207)
The dead dispatcher process is restarted once pmon cleans the in-doubt sessions. The workaround for this issue is to turn off the DCD (dead connection detection) feature. Set SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 0 in sqlnet.ora file. This issue occurred in v9.2.0.4 and v9.2.0.5 and Oracle is currently working to resolve the same.
I think you are not using MTS feature, otherwise you would have received errors
like above & trace file would have been generated & error.ORA-07445
If you are not using MTS feature,
set the initialization parameter shared_servers = 0. also make sure that the parameter dispatcher is not set (it has no default) to anything.

Server 3.2.2 authentication errors log locations

I have trouble to find log files to where Calendar, Contacts, Profile manager and web server are logging authentication failures (wrong user name or password) for logging attempts made either trough web interface or caldav, carddav?
Seems that corresponding logs in:
/var/log/apache2/
/Library/Logs/
do not contain such events.

Re-locate Alert log file

My alert log files seems to be generating somewhere else.
I am using a PFile to startup. Seems someone played around with the PFile.
I need to generate the alert logs in a folder as specified by me:
I have set the following parameters as such, but yet the alert log file doesn't generate in the bdump folder.
background_dump_dest=C:\oracle\admin\db1\bdump
core_dump_dest=C:\oracle\admin\db1\cdump
user_dump_dest=C:\oracle\admin\db1\udump
Is there any other parameter I need to fidget with?

I am not using an SPfile. The Pfile is definetely being used for starting the instance.
background_dump_dest=C:\oracle\admin\db1\bdump
The other background trace files are being generated here, except for the alert log.
Alert log is being generated in: C:\oracle\admin\practice\bdump.
Now just so that i am not makin any human blunders I checked the following to be double sure:
SQL> select distinct isspecified from V$spparameter;
ISSPEC
FALSE
This means the Pfile is being used.
SQL> show parameter background_dump
NAME TYPE VALUE
background_dump_dest string C:\oracle\admin\db1\bdump
This verifies the destination folder.
PLEASE HELP!

How to open the alert logs

Hi Team,
I am doing database Refreshment. I want to monitor the alert logs.
Please suggest me, How to open the alert logs. Working on unix server.
Thanks & Regards,

if its 10g then go to bdump directory
you can either do tail -f <alert_log_name>
or vi <alert_log_name>
if 11g then you want should go to
$ORACLE_HOME/diag/$ORACLE_SID
the alert log file is in XML format as well as a text file. The default location of both these files is the new ADR home or Automatic Diagnostic Respository. The ADR is set by using the DIAGNOSTIC_DEST initialization parameter. The location of an ADR home is ADR_BASE/diag/product_type/product_id/instance_id. If the environment variable ORACLE_BASE is not set then DIAGNOSTIC_DEST is set to ORACLE_HOME/log
there are different directories for different types of alert log files
alert - The XML formatted alertlog
trace - text alert log

ORA-00205: error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info

Hello All,
I am performing my first Collab Suite install in quite some time and I have successfully installed Collaboration Suite on Linux Red Hat AS 4. I first performed an infrastructure installation for the Collab Suite database which completed with no errors, however, it appears that no control files were created in my $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory during installation. I am also unable to specify their exact location in the initSID.ora file as I am unable to find them in any other directory on my server. The database starts despite the control file error, as you can see from the second SQL*Plus prompt. However, I am unsure how to create the control files or correct this error. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Delete content in alert.log file

hii,
Presently, i am working at oracle 10g database on windows 2003 server.
alter.log file size is 432 MB around which take several time time to open.
so, how can i delete content form alert.log file to reduce size
Regards
Vaibhav

Hi,
No need to delete contents of alertlog.
just rename the alert log file or copy to another location and delete old one,then it will automatically creates new alert log file with format alert_<sid>.log
note:
no need of database bounce.

Server Alert log location in 10G?
