Reviewing the Usage-Tracking Log Files


Usage-tracking log files are written to the directory that you specify in the system preferences. The log files are named:

SiebelUsageTracking_HOST_PID_YYYY-MM-DD_HH.FF

Where:

  • HOST = Server host name
  • PID = Process ID of the AOM
  • YYYY-MM-DD-HH = Formatted date and time
  • FF = File format (XML, W3C, or CSV)

For example, SiebelUsageTracking_sshost_2624_2004-03-15_16.XML is the log file begun at 4 P.M. on March 15, 2004.

NOTE:  Log files are not created for periods when there is no activity. For example, if UsageTracking Log Time Period = Hourly but there are no users from 1:15 A.M. to 4:55 A.M., log files are not created for the 2 A.M. or 3 A.M. hours.
