Resource Monitor File Locations

There are two kinds of files involved in the monitoring operations:

STA Services Daemon and ResMonAdm Logs

These log the activities of the STA Services daemon and the Resource Monitor Administration utility, staresmonadm. These logs are collections of up to 10 log files, each up to 1.0 MB in size. The log file names are of the format "*.log.N," where "N" is the number of the log, for example, staservd.log.0, staresmonadm.log.0, staservd.log.1, and so forth.

The logs are circularly rotated such that log file #1 will be reused when staservd.log.9 has been filled up. The active log file is always #0 (that is, staservd.log.0). When log #0 fills up, it is renamed to log #1 and a new log #0 is started. By default the STA Services, STA ResMon, and STA ResMonAdm logs are all located at:

/var/log/tbi/db/backups

The location and log format (either simple ASCII text or XML markup) are controlled by the logging properties file staservd.log.props and staresmonadm.log.props located at:

$STAHOME/common/conf/staservd.log.props $STAHOME/common/conf/staresmonadm.log.props

Where:

$STAHOME = /Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics

STA Resource Monitor CSV File

Each time ResMon scans the system, it writes the gathered values out to a comma-separated-value (CSV) file located, by default, at:

/var/log/tbi/db/staresmon.csv

Programs such as Excel and MySQL can load this data file and perform various analytic and graphing functions with its time-based values (for example, analysis of resource depletion trends).

Note – The ResMon CSV file is neither purged nor rolled, nor is it backed up by the STA Backup Service.

Each record in staresmon.csv represents a scan of the system. The format of the 21 column record is:

COL	HEADER	DESCRIPTION	FORMAT
1	TIMESTAMP	Date and time of the scan	"YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
2	TS_MB_MAX	Maximum tablespace	123
3	TS_MB_USED	Total database space used	123
4	TS_MB_AVAIL	Database space remaining	123
