Informix & Log messages

Hi all, Here's my problem - can You help? (Sun Solaris 2.6, Informix Dynamic Server 7.31UC4-1 -) Most of the time I see in my logfile: Checkpoint completed: duration was 0 seconds. Checkpoint completed: duration was 0 seconds. Checkpoint completed: duration was 0 seconds. Checkpoint completed: duration was 0 seconds. Checkpoint completed: duration was 0 seconds. (...) It's 90% of the overall info and it's waste of paper (logs are printed) How to turn it off? -) Ther's somthing like this in the "onconfig" configuration file: MSGPATH /usr/informix/online.log # System message log file path CONSOLE /dev/console # System console message path How to redirect logs in yet another place? I'd like to send logs to the remote server or remote printer (real-time) TIA Arthur

You can't get rid of them. However, you can write a script to print them. Something like 'grep -v "Checkpoint completed" | lp -d <device>'. To put them on a different machine, you can make an NFS mount to that machine and change the MSGPATH to the filesystem you created. I think you'll have to bounce the server for this to go into effect. If you want the logs in BOTH places, you'll have to write a script that copies the logs, I would think. This log doesn't work like the syslog. I don't know of any way to send data to the printer in real time.

Can't. Use grep -v to remove these lines when printing the message log. How often is this message printed to the log? What is the value of the ONCONFIG parameter CKPTINTVL (this could be greater than the ACTUAL interval experienced in the message log if the physical log file is too small)? Perhaps this is really a tuning problem! > > -) > > Ther's somthing like this in the "onconfig" configuration file: > > MSGPATH /usr/informix/online.log # System message log file path > CONSOLE /dev/console # System console message path> > How to redirect logs in yet another place? Don't do that, you will need the local on-disk copy to diagnose some problems and for performance monitoring. > I'd like to send logs to the remote server or remote printer (real-time) User tail -f to echo to logs to a printer live.

Hi, Pls check inserts.

As has been said before , a script with grep -v would help.However ,it should be kept that way since system info should not be tampered with. > > -) > > Ther's somthing like this in the "onconfig" configuration file: > > MSGPATH /usr/informix/online.log # System message log file path > CONSOLE /dev/console # System console messagepath > > How to redirect logs in yet another place?
