• Alert & Audit Log purge script example

  Hi Experts,

  Can someone point to examples of scripts for

  1 alert & purge the audit log?

  2. rotation of log listener?

  I'm sorry if issues look too naïve, I'm new to DBA activities; pls let me know if more details are needed.

  From now the script must be independent of the versions/platforms

  Kind regards

  Thank you very much for your answer!

  If auditing is enabled in Oracle, it generates newspapers or she inserts into a SYS. Table?

  Well, that your settings initialization of the 'check' show?

  For the newspaper of the listener "rotation", just rename listener.log to something else (there is an OS command for that), then bounce the listener.

  You don't want to purge the log of alerts you want to 'rotate' as well.  Just rename the existing file to something else. (there is an OS command for this)

  So this has to be managed at the level of operating system instead of having a utility. Also if this is the case, this must be done when the database is stopped in right?

  No, the database doesn't have to be stopped to rotate the log of the listener.  The database does not give a flying fig on the log of the listener.

  No, the database doesn't have to be stopped to rotate the log of alerts.  If the alert log is not there when he needs to write for her, it will just start a new.  BTW, since 11g, there are two newspapers to alert... the old familiar, now located in $ORACLE_BASE/diag/rdbms / $ORACLE_SID / $ORACLE_SID/trace and the xml file used by adrci.  There are orders adrci and configurations to manage it.

  Yet once again, I leave the details as exercise for the student to exercise his research skills.

  Please confirm my interpretation.

  Thanks in advance!

• Where is the audit log?

  I have a need to run a report on the data in the audit trail for changes to the CMDB, but I have some difficulty to find where the audit log is stored.
  I would have thought it was ar_audit look, but who turned out be wrong.
  Have you tried to find in the schema data, but without success.
  Anyone know where it is stored?
  ThanX

  Just checked - records to audit for these fields are placed in the SU_EXTENSION_AUDIT table. In any case the RV_CI_AUDIT_TRAIL view should display them as well. BTW, I use v.9.1.5 VSM and other versions may behave differently.

• Deleting old Audit logs

  Hi all
  
  In our Organization, as in the data retention policy we have to keep checking for only 4 years. Now he must clean all old checks before that. So basically, if an account was created 5 years back, we must keep checking only for the last 4 years and remove auditing for one year.
  
  Any suggestions how we can achieve this?
  
  
  Thank you
  Gerard

  Have you looked into the STANDARD audit log maintenance task: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19225-01/820-5822/byaua/index.html

  You should be able to delete data prior to X.

  I hope this helps.

• feature customization (Journal of rotation alerts) new 11g

  Hi all
  I cann see on my ora g 11 db when the alert_log go more than 11 M
  He turns to
  Log_1.xml then
  Log_2.XML
  
  sort of chneg the number of 11 M to 20 M to say
  and control the deletion policy, as keep only the last 5 logs
  
  I studied the adrci, but can't find a command to do
  
  Thank you

  In docs you say it:

  Controlling the size of the Trace files
  You can control the maximum size of all trace (with the exception of the alert log) files using the
  initialization parameter MAX_DUMP_FILE_SIZE, which limits the specified file
  number of operating system blocks. To control the size of a log of alerts, you must
  Delete the file manually when you no longer need. Otherwise, the database continues
  to add to the file.
  You can safely remove the alert log while the instance is running, although you should
  Consider making an archived copy of it first. This archived copy could be invaluable
  If you should have a future problem that requires an investigation into the story of one
  instance.

  While you take the alerts log file backup, it must close the database or we can take a database backup upward and running?

  How do I create the new log file alert to this place?

  Alert.log will be created automatically if remove you it... You don't need to take care to manually create at all.

  to my knowledge, that it will automatically create I'm wright?

  Yes

  its possible to use comand cp or mv so that your database is running.
  Oracle adds new messages in the alert.log if the queue is not found he rest his pointer/counter and create a newfile and then start the meter/pointer and start writing for her.

  FYI it is also a way to add our messages to alert.log file too. The procedure kdswrt in the dbms_system package allows us to write own messages in the alerts log / trace files or both.

  Jonathan explains the ways to write our personalized message to alert.log and trace files.

  Functions to use are:

  dbms_system.ksdwrt(1,'xxxx') -- writes to the alert log
  dbms_system.ksdwrt(2,'xxxx') -- writes to a trace file for the current session
  dbms_system.ksdwrt(3,'xxxx') -- writes to both the alert log and a trace file
  dbms_system.ksdddt -- used to write a date / time stamp
  dbms_system.ksdind(n) -- indent the output using ":" characters
  dbms_system.ksdfls -- flushes the output to file.
  

  In addition, in Oracle 11g and beyond, we are able to directly question the Alert.log file with a SQL query via the table X$ DBGALERTEXT.

  For example

  SQL>SELECT message_text FROM X$DBGALERTEXT WHERE rownum < 20;

  Hi tmmjr,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  a. Since when are you facing this problem?
  b. did you change to your computer recently?

  Perform the clean boot on your computer and check.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  To perform a clean boot on a computer, follow these steps.

  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
   
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
   
  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.
   
  If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 . In addition, refer to the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode

  Hope this information is useful.
  Let me know if it worked.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:
