Enstore Log File Help

Overview

The log files page allows easy web access to both Enstore created log files and user specified ones. The Enstore log files may either be viewed in their entirety and searched.

User Specified Log Files

The user can add information to the Enstore configuration file that will instruct the Inquisitor to add one or more URLs to the Enstore Log File web page. This information consists of a set of ASCII tags and associated URLs, specified as a Python dictionary with a keyword of user_log_dirs, in the inquisitor section of the configuration file.

As an example, a value for user_log_dirs of -

{'Biggles' : '/this/is/not/here'}

will result in a link on the web page that looks like Biggles.

Enstore Log Files

This section provides links to all available log files. An available log file is one that is in the log file directory as specified by the log_file_path keyword in the log_server section of the configuration file. The available log files are arranged into calendars, one per month. The months are then displayed in reverse order, the most recent month first. Each day of a month may be one of the following -

1:2343454La link to a log file for day 1 : the size of the log file
4:0La link to an empty log file for day 4 : the size of the log file
8no available log file for day 8

Enstore log files may exist as either flat files or gzipped files. Any gzipped log files will be uncompressed on-the-fly for viewing.
