Configuring the Log File Analyzer
Configure the Log File Analyzer (LFA) by accessing and editing the LFA configuration file, which has the default name, logreader.cfg. The LFA uses the LFA configuration file when started to reference Siebel Server locations, Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) plug-in locations, and other run-time details. This task is the first step in Process for Analyzing Log Files with LFA. Once the LFA is configured, this step is optional unless further changes are necessary. The default location for the LFA configuration file is the binary subdirectory of the Siebel Server root directory (for example, /siebsrvr/bin). The LFA configuration file contains sections that configure which log files are analyzed by the utility and what content is reviewed. Edit the appropriate sections in the configuration file with a text editor. For LFA configuration file parameters and their descriptions, see Table 33. For an example of a typical configuration file, see Example of a Log File Analyzer Configuration File.

|
[elements] |
Siebel Server Identification Tag |
Under the [elements] section, list Siebel Servers searchable by the LFA using the following format: Siebel Server Identification Tag = server where Siebel Server Identification Tag is a unique tag name identifying the Siebel Server of interest. This tag can be the Siebel Server name, but can also be any other configurable value, for example: [elements]
SiebelServer1=server
|
Siebel Web Server Extension Identification Tag |
Under the [elements] section, list SWSE plug-ins searchable by the LFA using the following format: Siebel Web Server Extension Identification Tag = plug-in
where Siebel Web Server Extension Identification Tag is a unique tag identifying the SWSE plug-in of interest. This tag can be the SWSE plug-in name, but can also be any other configurable value, for example: [elements]
SiebelSWSE1=plugin
|
[Siebel Server Identification Tag] |
Path |
Each Siebel Server identification parameter listed in the [elements] section has a respective section of its own with its name in square brackets. The path parameter of each Siebel Server section denotes the location of the associated log files for that Siebel Server. For example: [SiebelServer1]
Path = //SiebSrv1/siebsrvr/log
|
[Siebel Server Identification Tag.Siebel Server Component Name] |
shortname |
List Siebel Server component display names in square brackets to allow the LFA to search for component references in log files specific to a Siebel Server. Add the Siebel Server component alias as the value for the short name parameter. For example: [SiebelServer1.Server Request Broker]
shortName=SRBroker
For a listing of Siebel Server components and their aliases, see Siebel System Administration Guide. |
[Siebel Web Server Extension Identification Tag] |
Path |
Each SWSE plug-in identification parameter listed in the [elements] section has a section of its own with its name in brackets ([ ]). The path parameter of each SWSE plug-in section denotes the location of the associated log files for that SWSE plug-in. For example: [SiebelSWSE1]
Path = //SWSE1/eappweb/log
|
[Render] |
event |
Displays information on log events, if enabled. Set to 1 to enable; set to 0 to disable. The parameter information in the [render] section is also controlled by using commands during the running of the LFA. For more information, see About Running Log File Analyzer Commands. |
subevent |
Displays information on log sub events if enabled. Set to 1 to enable; set to 0 to disable. |
loglevel |
Displays information on log level of event subtypes. Set to 1 to enable; set to 0 to disable. |
time |
Displays log timing information in enabled.Set to 1 to enable; set to 0 to disable. |
file |
Displays log file path information if enbabled.Set to 1 to enable; set to 0 to disable. |
NOTE: Do not modify the sections entitled [schemes], [user], and [session].
Example of a Log File Analyzer Configuration File
The following example Log File Analyzer (LFA) configuration file is intended for a Siebel application with two Siebel Servers, named SiebSrv1 and SiebSrv2, and three Web servers with three Siebel Web Server Extensions (SWSE), named SWSE1, SWSE2, and SWSE3. The LFA configuration file also contains alias information on two Siebel Server components, Server Request Broker and Call Center Object Manager. Using this configuration file, the LFA searches all Siebel Server and SWSE log files, has the ability to search on the two Siebel Server components listed, and displays all information except log level and the log file path. For descriptions of the individual sections and parameters, see Configuring the Log File Analyzer. [elements]
