Enstore Alarm File Search Help
Overview
The log file search page provides online search support of existing log files.
Log File Name
The Log File Name box allows you to specify which log files should be searched.
Log file names are a combination of a standard prefix and the date on which the log
file was created. Examples of valid values of a log file name are -
- today
- look through todays log file
- week
- look through the last 7 log files (if available) including today
- month
- look through the last 30 log files (if available) including today
- all
- look through all of the available log files
- 2000-03-*
- look through all of the available log files from March 2000
- 2000-05-1*
- look through all of the available log files from May 10-19, 2000

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.
When specifying an actual date (or part of a date) for the log file name, the date is of
the following format -
YYYY-MM-DD
Where the year must include 4 digits, the month must include 2 digits and the day must
include 2 digits.
Search String
Searches may be performed for specific strings within each log file line. A search string
is case
insensitive and does not require quotes.
Searches may be done on more than one string. When this is done, due to the syntax of the
search, the strings must be entered in the order in which they appear in a line ¹.
For example, to look for all of the lines with stkensrv5 and enstore in them, specify a
search string of
stkensrv5.*enstore
To look for lines with either stkensrv3 or stkensrv4 in them, specify a search
string of
stkensrv3|stkensrv5
¹ Alarm messages in the log files obey the following format (in general) -
time node PID username severity process_name error_message
