TCL file for alert.log checking?

Where can I find a TCL Script for checking the alert.logs for errors?

You could check <ORACLE_HOME>/network/agent/events/oracle/rdbms/fault/alert.tcl

User defined metrics for alert log errors

I want to create UDM for getting the full description of alert log ORA - error to be reported via E-mail. Can somebody guide me or help me withe script which can be used to create this alert. Currently, We get the only the message of that error is generated; which request us to manually check the alert to log to figure out the error.

Hi,
what metric did you use and what is the database version.
There are metrics related to alert log errors but those which have status at the end of a name return number of errors
and w/o status provide error description:
11g
Generic Incident - error message
Generic Incident Status - number of errors
10g
Generic Alert Log Error - error message
Generic Alert Log Error Status - number of errors
Did you set Generic Incident or Generic Alert Log Error? If description is not enough
you might use UDM but it would be easier for 11g since there are internal views which
have access to ADR, for 10g it will be required to build additional procedure (to open and read alert log)

Where can I find log files for users logging into network homes?

We're running an open directory master and are using AFP on another server to host our network homes. I was asked to find a log of users logged into their network homes on a specific date and I'm starting to wonder if that's actually a log that exists. I've checked the OD logs and in one of the password logs I can see users have authenticated but it doesn't say specifically to what (so it just lists they logged into something). The AFP logs just show specific files being accessed without usernames. So what am I missing? What log would I check?
Thanks for your help!!

File Zilla is a dedicated ftp client that you use to upload your published web site to your server.
I would suggest that you perhaps consider using Cyberduck instead as this might be easier. Cyberduck is a dedicated ftp client in the same way that File Zilla is.
To be able to upload what you need is your published website. Open iWeb and select the site that you want to publish and then select publish to a local folder and your site will then be published to your desktop. You then upload this to your server using Cyberduck or File Zilla.

User Defined Metric for default ALERT log directory

On our system we have moved the alert log to a non-default location. If we use the wrong initialization file or something else goes haywire then trace files and alert logs get placed in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log directory.
I want to create a user defined metric for each machine that will look in all the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log directories for each ORACLE_HOME on the server checking for any alert*.log or *.trc files. Creating an alert if it encounters any of these files.
I don't know if I should do it as a host UDM or an instance UDM. And more to the point how do I get it to see the multiple homes if the server has more than one.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tim

Well I did it with a host UDM calling a local script (which will be installed on shared drives for the development/test and production systems).
The local script cats the /var/opt/oracle/oratab file eliminating lines beginning with # or $ then takes the second argument of each line and loops through all entries using a checkit procedure. The checkit procedure determines if the appropriate log directores exist for the oracle home and does a find on the diretory looking for alert*.log and *.trc. If there are any then global variables get updated with the count and directory name.
There is an if statement before exit that checks of the count of files is greater than zero and write an appropriate em_result and em_message depending on the results.
I then created the UDM in EM to call this script and check for critical/warning thresholds.

Tim

Removing alert logs and trace files

Hi everyone!
I noticed that in all the oracle databases, the trace files are piling and alert log is growing like anything ....
Thought of making a copy of the trace files somewhere and remove them from the hard disk excluding the most recent ones.
For alert log, thought of making a copy and renaming the current file so that Oracle can create a new one.
Any advice if there are better approaches in handling this?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.I would include the alert log file in my backup strategy as it includes many important information; database parameter values,when and how the database was shut down, the important database errors and when they occur , etc ... I usually backup the alert log file once a month and keep 1 year of alert log file copies..

Most Recent Alert Log Entries - Error processing Alert Log

Hi..
Can someone help me?
When I want to check the log of alerts the following thing goes out for me:
"This shows the last 100,000 bytes of the alert log. The log is constantly growing, so select the browser's Refresh button to see the most recent log entries.
Number of Lines Displayed Error processing Alert Log"
Since I can solve it?

Number of Lines Displayed Error processing Alert Log"
check ur alert.log file content any data.
bcoz if ur alert.log file entries is null then above error is show. ( happen with me when i am purge alert.log file and try to view content of alert.log then above error received so may be problem is null contents ( empty alert.log file)).

Alert log monitoring problem

Hi guys!
I have found good simple script for alert log monitoring BUT it doesnt shows date and time. How to format it so that i could see date and time as well in log output?
+#!/bin/sh+
+#GLOBS+
ALERT="ORA-";
LOGFILE=/path/to/my/alert_X.log
MYFILE=/home/user/test.log
+##+
+#get the errors out of the logfile.+
grep -h "$ALERT" $LOGFILE >> $MYFILE
+#count number of lines in myfile, and print.+
+VAR=`wc -l $MYFILE | awk -F" " '{print $1}'`+
+#echo $VAR+
+# if the amount of lines is greater than 0, then cat the file and send it to me. if not then echo all clear.+
+#size variable is the number of errors the last time the script ran+
+size=`wc -l test.last | awk -F" " '{print $1}'`+
echo $size
+# if the amount of lines is greater than 0, then cat the file and send it to me. if not then echo all clear+
+if [[ $VAR -gt $size ]] ; then+
cat $MYFILE | mail -vs "oralert" [email protected] ;
else
echo "All clear.."
fi;
rm test.last
mv test.log test.last
touch test.log

The alert_log is know to first put the date of the message into it, and then on the next line the ORA- error message.
So in the case you would find an ORA-error here, then what is the problem into going into the file and start looking at what time it occured.
Otherwise you would have to modify the script in such way that it will get more info than a 'grep' at the moment it finds the error, like using "grep -l" option, that simply matches the lines.
Then a while loop in the script could "walk" trough these lines and get the surrounding lines around that line number from the alert_log.
But, again, if an error pops up, you do want to go into the alert-file, looking up all given info e.g. about the object(s) involved, the users, if a tracefile was generated...etc,etc,.

Alert log monitoring in dbconsole 11.2.0.2.0

Hullo
Is there a way to tune out certain ORA- alerts from alerting via dbconsole? At the moment we are getting all ORA-0600s and some of them we dont need waking up by!
Thanks.

Do you have metalink support? This is the doc you want to check into .. yes it is possible.
Database Alert log monitoring in 12c explained (Doc ID 1538482.1)
From this doc...
You need to get fancy with the regexp..
Setting thresholds for alert log metrics
Setting of the thresholds is a very complex and wide area and the values are depending on the requirements, the DBA experience and environments being monitored. This can be achieved by going to the Database target menu->Monitoring->Metrics and collection settings->Edit the "Generic Alert Log Error" from the 3 blue pencils icon on the right.
By default, the "Generic Alert Log Error" Warning threshold is set to "ORA-0*(600?|7445|4[0-9][0-9][0-9])[^0-9]" which means:
ORA-0*(600?|7445|4[0-9][0-9][0-9])[^0-9] - the string ORA-0
ORA-0*(600?|7445|4[0-9][0-9][0-9])[^0-9] - folowed by none ore more zeroes
ORA-0*(600?|7445|4[0-9][0-9][0-9])[^0-9] - followed by 600 or 60 (the ? operator means "there is zero or one of the preceding element")
ORA-0*(600?|7445|4[0-9][0-9][0-9])[^0-9] - or it can be 7445
ORA-0*(600?|7445|4[0-9][0-9][0-9])[^0-9] - or it can be anything between 4000 and 4999
ORA-0*(600?|7445|4[0-9][0-9][0-9])[^0-9] - it can follow anything but a number
For setting the thresholds, a Regular expression (RegExp) as the one above needs to be used.

Cloud Control 12c monitoring Oracle 11g Standard Edition alert.log

Hi guys.
I just installed Cloud Control 12c3 and added my cluster database, I have readed many papers, tech docs and tech discuss and now i have a huge confussion about packs, licensing and other fruits. Please help...
I have four Oracle 11g databases (differents hosts) Standard Edition, and i want monitoring and notificate alert.log errors. For example, if alert.log says "ORA-01438, blablabla" i want a email notification.
I read about packs, and says that "diagnostic pack" is needed for alert.log monitoring in Cloud Control 12c. But my version database is Standard Edition without packs, so I CAN'T MONITORING ALERT LOG!!!.
Question:
Do I really need Diagnostic Pack for monitoring alert.log with Cloud Control?
If Diagnostinc Pack is not necessary, how can i monitoring alert.log?
Thanks

I do not think you require any pack for alert.log content monitoring but you might need to check with Oracle rep. I am saying so because if you go to the "Alert log content" page and click on management pack for this page, Grid will display a message that this page does not require any pack.
Go to the Alert log content by "oracle database -> logs -> alert log contents"
then
go to SETUP -> management packs -> packs for this page
You will see the message will be displayed " this pages does not require any pack"
Can you also provide the doc where it says that this pae needs diagnostic pack?

ACH File for FF68 transactions

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to generate ACH file for the checks (incoming payments) posted through transaction FF68? Appreciate your thoughts...
Thanks
RK

Hi
I have requirement that customers are making payments by Phone - they call the AR department and provides a check number (we already have their routing and bank account number in customer master data) for the payments.
At the end of the day - they will upload all their payment information in ACH file format into a secured bank website. Next business day, bank processes the checks and sent back a statement with cleared and un-cleared checks.
I am planning to use FF68 to enter payments with the check number. but not sure If I can generate ACH file for Manual check deposits.
My requirement - Is there a way to generate ACH file for the manual check deposits?
Thanks,

Alert Log Archive

Hi,
Could any body tell me how can I take the day to day backup of Oracle Database Alert Log file. and in the folder containg the alert log file what are the other files and what are the purpose of those files.

Personally, I prefer going through the alert log and keeping the important bits in the file only (remove the basic log switch information and other things).
and in the folder containg the alert log file what are the other files and what are the purpose of those files.
Alert log is located in the background dump destination. All background processes are also dumping the data in this folder. So unless there is a critical error in alert log which indicates the details to be present in a trace file, you can remove the unwanted files.

Watch configuration files for changes

I changed web.xml to get charting to work and it did (but it worked without restarting CF)
I do not have the Watch configuration files for changes option checked in cfAdmin.
I went to make the same changes on other boxs and CF "undeployed" itself.
I am running CF8 on Solaris. I recently upgraded the JVM to 1.6_10

Purging the ALERT LOG

Hi,
I am using RDBMS : 9.2.0.6.0 on AIX 5.3 platform.
I want to purge my alter log file as it is never been purged and is almost contains the entry of past 1 year.
Can you please provide me the way to do it?
Thanks
Shivank

If there is no alert log the database will create another one, so you can remove/delete the alert log file.
If you don't want to delete the alert log file. You can rename it while the database is down. So it will create and use a new alert log file.
You can also empty the file as follows;
cp -p alert.log alert.log.date (backing up the alert log file)
echo ""> alert.log (empty the alert log file)
You can also use as follows;
tail -3000 alert_test01.log > alert_test01.log_new (this will take last 3000 lines).
Additionally specifying your O/S would be helpful.
