Location of Log Files

Log files are available for actions performed in the command-line interface and Web Console and are useful when you need to track and debug jobs.

You can also use the Oracle Appliance Manager Web Console to view job activity, including the tasks that make up the job. The status of each task appears in the Web Console and you can drill down to get greater details.

If you log a Service Request, upload all of the logs in the /opt/oracle/dcs/log directory.

Patching Log Files

All patching-related information is logged in the dcs-agent log file at /opt/oracle/dcs/log/dcs-agent.log.

DCS Agent Log Directories

Agent-specific activities are logged in the dcs-agent log.

The DCS Agent, controller, and command-line interface output appears in the /opt/oracle/dcs/log/dcs-agent.log file.

If an error occurs in the command-line interface layer, then the output will show in the /opt/oracle/dcs/log/dcscli.log file first.

Storage Logs

Storage-related activity is logged in the oakd log file.

/opt/oracle/oak/log/hostname/oak/oakd.log

For example, /opt/oracle/oak/log/myhost/oak/oakd.log

Use the odaadmcli manage diagcollect command to collect diagnostic logs for storage components. The files are saved in the oakdiag log file.

/opt/oracle/oak/log/hostname/oakdiag/file name.tar.gz
For example, /opt/oracle/oak/log/myhost/oakdiag/oakStorage-myhost-20161120_2217.tar.gz

Database Logs

Online logs are stored in the /u03/app/db user/redo/ directory.

Oracle Fast Recovery Area (FRA) is located in the /u03/app/db user/fast_recovery_area directory.

Oracle Auto Service Request (Oracle ASR) Log Files

All log files for Oracle ASR are located in the /var/opt/asrmanager/log/ directory.
