Syslogd -u not writing network messages to log file

i'm trying to get remote logging of airport bs debug level log message to work.
the airport bs it's doing it's part according to tcpdump:
# tcpdump -i en1 port syslog
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on en1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
11:56:39.332886 IP 10.0.1.1.syslog > 10.0.1.198.syslog: SYSLOG local0.notice, length: 71
12:01:10.037655 IP 10.0.1.1.syslog > 10.0.1.198.syslog: SYSLOG local0.notice, length: 71
12:07:57.786033 IP 10.0.1.1.syslog > 10.0.1.198.syslog: SYSLOG local0.debug, length: 100
etc...
config looks appropriate in /etc/syslog.conf:
local0.* /var/log/appfirewall.log
and the log file exists.
the syslog launchctl file says:
<string>/usr/sbin/syslogd</string>
<string>-u</string>
<string>-c 7</string>
and ps confirms that the options are working:
/usr/sbin/syslogd -u -c 7
but the log messages i see arriving from the bs aren't being written to the log file and don't see a network socket for the udp receiver in the netstat -a output.
i suspect that syslogd configuration may have been moved out of /etc and the airport help topics haven't been updated to reflect the new methods.
any ideas or pointers?

i found the answer. there's a section at the end of /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist that needs uncommenting to enable the udp listener.

SQLScript , writing messages to log file

Hi,
We're developing SQLScript and executing them directly on Unix via Unix command HDBSQL. We use the -o keyword with HDBSQL to write messages like comments, custom errors into a log file. The only way we know how to force custom messages into the log file is the SELECT "Text" FROM DUMMY.
Now our SQL consists of multiple procedures that may be called in a nested fashion i.e Proc 1 calls Proc 2 which in turn calls Proc 3. We noticed that the SELECT FROM DUMMY way of writing comments into the log only works if the procedure is the first procedure in the line of nested calls(Proc 1). SELECT FROM DUMMY from a sub/nested procedure does not make it to the log file.
Is there any other way we can achieve this? Other DBs have options like DBMS.output which work well in such scenarios.
I would like to thank this group for being ever so helpful in all the issues we have faced so far.
Regards,
Nehal

Hello,
I do not agree. have you taken a look at Oracle9i Supplied PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference?
You can use UTL_FILE and DBMS_OUTPUT to achieve exactly what you want.

RAISEERROR not shown in Agent Job Log File Viewer

I use a RAISEERROR for a critical error in a CATCH. When the Job is run, it does fail but it gives the following message. How do i get my @Note to show in the Log File Viewer? Also, where is the log referenced 'WITH LOG'. I looked at the SQL Server Agent
Log and did not see anything.
Message

Printing messages in Log File and Output File using Dbms_output.put_line

Hi,
I have a requirement of printing messages in log file and output file using dbms_output.put_line instead of fnd_file.put_line API.
Please let me know how can I achieve this.
I tried using a function to print messages and calling that function in my main package where ever there is fnd_file.put_line. But this approach is not required by the business.
So let me know how I can achieve this functionality.
Regards
Sandy

What is the requirement that doesn't allow you using fnd_file.put_line?

EP log type INFO not written to the portal.log file

All the log.info (where log is of type PortalRuntime Logger) statements in my code are not written to the portal.log file.
I have configured the portal_logger to log ALL but it seems to log only the FATAL and WARNING messages and not the INFO ones.I am on EP6 SP2
Thanks
Sid

Let me rephrase my question.
In the portal logs configuration (Sys Adm - Monitoring - Logging Console - portal_logger ) if you select ALL, should it not log messages of all types ( ERROR WARNING INFO )? When I select ALL for the portal_logger the portal.log doesn't display the log messages of type INFO (only the once of type ERROR or WARNING).

Writing messages to log file from database procedures

Folks,
Is there a way by which I will be able to write messages from a database procedure to a log file? I would like to know what a procedure is doing and if it has failed or suceeded just as we do in a Unix shell script where we can direct messages to a file.
e.g. echo 'step 34 completed' >> $X_LOG
Is there a log file in Oracle where we can check if a procedure has failed and what was the error. I am using Oracle 9i.
Thanks.

Hi, Joerg. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. re: Smart Crash Reports error. "Smart Crash Reports" is an Unsanity hack. Either you installed it or it was perhaps installed by another of their hacks you have installed. In either case, that's a question for Unsanity to answer.
2. re: The SpeedTools extension you cited. Check their documentation or their Web site for instructions on uninstalling the extension. You may be able to start up in Safe Mode (which prevents third-party kernel extensions from loading), then drag it from the Macintosh HD > System > Library > Extensions folder to your desktop, then restart your Mac. However, I'd check the SpeedTools documentation first. See my "Uninstalling applications" FAQ for important advice on uninstalling software.
Good luck!

Warning 11 message in log files

I had Sun One Identity Synchronization for Windows working with AD. I removed the Message Queue when I upgrade another DS on the machine which broke the Idsync. I have reinstalled the packages for IMS3_0_1 that I removed. The Message Queue is starting and appears to be loading the correct data. However, when I do a /etc/init.d/isw start, the Idsync does not come up and I get the following error messages in isw watchdog error.log file:

I have another instance of Idsyc running, and have started the Message Queue using -verbose to compare if the two are starting the same and they are. Would anyone be able to tell me what the Warning 11 messages mean?
Thanks
Randy

Okay, this is resolved. I moved the jdk to another directory as well in an attempt to do some house cleaning. I thought I had made the necessary changes in all the right places. Just for the fun of it, I made a copy of the jdk to the original directory then everything started working again. So I am guessing that the Warning 11 message must mean that there is not a valid java executable for the components and subcomponenets to start.
Well, that saves me a weekend of work. Now onto other things!
Thanks

Writing Error Messages to a file

we want to write an error message to a file and are wondering what steps to take in doing so...
thanks in advance

You can try calling System.setOut() to a custom PrintStream which prints to both a file and stdout.
The benefit of this is that you can keep calling System.out.*, or System.err.* and it prints normally in addition to printing to a file.
I wrote a (buggy) logger you can try out which does this. You can use it, although I recommend you look into writing one yourself, as this is buggy (and, knowing myself, probably poorly coded):
SVN Repository:
http://timothyb89.homelinux.org/kdrepos/log5j/
Custom PrintStream:
http://timothyb89.homelinux.org/kdrepos/log5j/src/org/log5j/Logger.java
(The LogFileManager ( http://timothyb89.homelinux.org/kdrepos/log5j/src/org/log5j/LogFileManager.java ) does the actual printing to the logfile)
Note that you might want to try using System.setErr() instead of System.setOut() (and changing calls my Logger made to System.out to System.err as well).
Hope it works (or you find a better way) ;-)

The server status change down to up,almost during 20 sec only,and We can access the server without any problem at the same time
Does this is a software bug.If not,How do I trace this problem,thks!!

capture a sniffer trace to see exactly what's going on.
Going to the server with a browser may work because using GET/POST method, but the CSS configured the way you did will use a HEAD method which could be a problem for your server.
The server could be slow to respond as well.
Try to increase the keepalive frequence since the timeout is linked to the frequency.
Finally, you may want to configure a url to poll with the command 'keepalive uri .....'
Once again, by simply sniffing between the CSS and the server, you will know exactly where is the problem.

How to Write Soap Message to Log File

Hello users,
Is there a config setting that causes soap messages to be written to the server log. I'm using JBoss/Turnkey. I found a reference in the JBoss documentation (Ch 5 J2EE Web Services) that offers this guidance:
(5.4. Monitoring webservices requests)
When processing web services requests, it is often useful to be able to observe the actual messages being passed between the client and the server. JBoss logs this information in the org.jboss.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet category.
To enable web services logging, add the following debug category to the log4j.xml file:
<category name="org.jboss.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet">
<priority value="DEBUG"/>
</category>
When enabled, all SOAP requests and responses will be logged to the server.log file.
Tried it but not working yet. Thanks for any help.

Show RMAN message in log file and screen at same time

Is there any way I can save all RMAN message in a log file and also show on standar out (screen).
Thanks

Hi,
You can try a shell script like this if you are using linux:
#!/bin/sh
# Name: test_backup
# Author: Tad_cs
# Description: Executes backup using the RMAN
export ORACLE_HOME=$1
export ORACLE_SID=$2
export LOG_DIR=$3
# Variables:
SCRIPT="test_backup"
data_log=`date '+%y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S'`
logfile=${LOG_DIR}/${SCRIPT}-${data_log}.log
# Execution of script backup of rman:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman <<EOF > $logfile
connect target rman/rman
connect catalog rman/rman
run { execute script test_backup; }
EOF
exitSo, While the script is performing, you can open other screen, search for
the log that is generating, and see the contents using:
tail -f log_file_name.logIs this you need?

Job console messages in log file

Hi All,
Is there a log file which logs the job console messages...where is it located ...we are on V11.1.2.,,....We have a issue with Job console validation......when a EPMA planning application is validated...it has some errors....but when we try to open the attachment to get more details...a new window opens and closes immediatly...
how can we check the error messages?

In IE try going to Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > Downloads > File Downloads > enable
This should allow the text file to open when you try to open the attachment.
