A.4.3 tfactl diagcollect

Use the tfactl diagcollect command to perform on-demand diagnostic collection.

Oracle Trace File Analyzer Collector can perform three types of on-demand collections:

Default collections
Event-driven Support Service Request Data Collection (SRDC) collections
Custom collections

Prerequisites

Event-driven Support Service Request Data Collection (SRDC collections require components from the Oracle Trace File Analyzer Database Support Tools Bundle, which is available from My Oracle Support Note 1513912.2.

Syntax

tfactl diagcollect [[component_name1] [component_name2] ... [component_nameN] | [-srdc srdc_profile] | [-defips]]
[-sr SR#] 
[-node all|local|n1,n2,...] 
[-tag tagname] 
[-z filename] 
[-last nh|d | -from time -to time | -for time] 
[-nocopy] 
[-notrim] 
[-silent] 
[-nocores]
[-collectalldirs]
[-collectdir dir1,dir2...]
[-examples]

Components:-ips|-database|-asm|-crsclient|-dbclient|-dbwlm|-tns|-rhp|-procinfo|-afd|-crs|-cha|-wls|-emagent|-oms|-ocm|-emplugins|-em|-acfs
|-install|-cfgtools|-os|-ashhtml|-ashtext|-awrhtml|-awrtext

Parameters

Prefix each option with a minus sign (-).

Option	Description
`[[component_name1] [component_name2] ... [component_nameN] \| [-srdc srdc_profile] \| [-defips]]]`	Specify the list of components for which you want to obtain collections, or specify the SRDC name, or specify to include IPS Packages for ASM, CRS, and Oracle Databases in the default collection.
`[-sr SR#]`	Specify the Service Request number to which Oracle Trace File Analyzer automatically uploads all collections.
`-node all\|local\|n1,n2,...`	Specify a comma-delimited list of nodes from which to collect diagnostic information. Default is all.
`-tag description`	Use this parameter to create a subdirectory for the resulting collection in the Oracle Trace File Analyzer repository.
`-z file_name`	Use this parameter to specify an output file name.
`[-last nh\|d \| -from time -to time \| -for time]`	Specify the `-last` parameter to collect files that have relevant data for the past specific number of hours (h) or days (d). By default, using the command with this parameter also trims files that are large and shows files only from the specified interval. You can also use `-since`, which has the same functionality as `-last`. This option is included for backward compatibility. Specify the `-from` and `-to` parameters (you must use these two parameters together) to collect files that have relevant data during a specific time interval, and trim data before this time where files are large. Supported time formats: `"Mon/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss"` `"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss"` `"yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss"` `"yyyy-mm-dd"` Specify the `-for` parameter to collect files that have relevant data for the time given. The files TFACTL collects will have timestamps in between which the time you specify after `-for` is included. No data trimming is done for this option. Supported time formats: `"Mon/dd/yyyy"` `"yyyy-mm-dd"` Note: If you specify both date and time, then you must enclose both the values in double quotation marks (""). If you specify only the date or the time, then you do not have to enclose the single value in quotation marks.
`-nocopy`	Specify this parameter to stop the resultant trace file collection from being copied back to the initiating node. The file remains in the Oracle Trace File Analyzer repository on the executing node.
`-notrim`	Specify this parameter to stop trimming the files collected.
`-silent`	Specify this parameter to run diagnostic collection as a background process
`-nocores`	Specify this parameter to stop collecting core files when it would normally have been collected.
`-collectalldirs`	Specify this parameter to collect all files from a directory that has `Collect All` flag marked true.
`-collectdir dir1,dir2,...dirn`	Specify a comma-delimited list of directories and collection includes all files from these directories irrespective of type and time constraints in addition to the components specified.
`-examples`	Specify this parameter to view `diagcollect` usage examples.

A.4.5 tfactl directory

Use the tfactl directory command to add a directory to, or remove a directory from the list of directories to analyze their trace or log files.

Also, use the tfactl directory command to change the directory permissions. When automatic discovery adds a directory, the directory is added as public. Any user who has sufficient permissions to run the tfactl diagcollect command collects any file in that directory. This is only important when non-root or sudo users run TFACTL commands.

If a directory is marked as private, then Oracle Trace File Analyzer, before allowing any files to be collected:

Determines which user is running TFACTL commands
Verifies if the user has permissions to see the files in the directory

Note:

A user can only add a directory to Oracle Trace File Analyzer to which they have read access. If you have automatic diagnostic collections configured, then Oracle Trace File Analyzer runs as root, and can collect all available files.

The tfactl directory command includes three verbs with which you can manage directories: add, remove, and modify.

Syntax

tfactl directory add directory [-public] [-exclusions | -noexclusions | -collectall] [-node all | n1,n2...]

tfactl directory remove directory [-node all | n1,n2...]

tfactl directory modify directory [-private | -public] [-exclusions | -noexclusions | -collectall]

For each of the three syntax models, you must specify a directory path where Oracle Trace File Analyzer stores collections.

Parameters

Table A-22 tfactl directory Command Parameters

Parameter	Description
`-public`	Use the `-public` parameter to make the files contained in the directory available for collection by any Oracle Trace File Analyzer user.
`-private`	Use the `-private` parameter to prevent an Oracle Trace File Analyzer user who does not have permission to see the files in a directory (and any subdirectories) you are adding or modifying, from running a command to collect files from the specified directory.
`-exclusions`	Use the `-exclusions` parameter to specify that files in this directory are eligible for collection if the files satisfy type, name, and time range restrictions.
`-noexclusions`	Use the `-noexclusions` parameter to specify that files in this directory are eligible for collection if the files satisfy time range restrictions.
`-collectall`	Use the `-collectall` parameter to specify that files in this directory are eligible for collection irrespective of type and time range when the user specifies the `-collectalldirs` parameter with the `tfactl diagcollect` command.
`-node all \| n1,n2...`	Add or remove directories from every node in the cluster or use a comma-delimited list to add or remove directories from specific nodes.

Usage Notes

You must add all trace directory names to the Berkeley database so that Oracle Trace File Analyzer can collect file metadata in that directory. The discovery process finds most directories, but if new or undiscovered directories are required, then you can add these manually using the tfactl directory command.

When you add a directory using TFACTL, then Oracle Trace File Analyzer attempts to determine whether the directory is for

Oracle Database
Oracle Grid Infrastructure
Operating system logs
Some other component
Which database or instance

If Oracle Trace File Analyzer cannot determine this information, then Oracle Trace File Analyzer returns an error and requests that you enter the information, similar to the following:

# tfactl directory add /tmp

Failed to add directory to TFA. Unable to determine parameters for directory: /tmp
Please enter component for this Directory [RDBMS|CRS|ASM|INSTALL|OS|CFGTOOLS|TNS|DBWLM|ACFS|ALL] : RDBMS
Please enter database name for this Directory :MYDB
Please enter instance name for this Directory :MYDB1

Note:

For OS, CRS, CFGTOOLS, ACFS, ALL, or INSTALL files, only the component is requested and for Oracle ASM only the instance is created. No verification is done for these entries so use caution when entering this data.

Example A-17 tfactl directory

The following command adds a directory:

# tfactl directory add /u01/app/grid/diag/asm/+ASM1/trace

The following command modifies a directory and makes the contents available for collection only to Oracle Trace File Analyzer users with sufficient permissions:

# tfactl directory modify /u01/app/grid/diag/asm/+ASM1/trace -private

The following command removes a directory from all nodes in the cluster:

# tfactl directory remove /u01/app/grid/diag/asm/+ASM1/trace -node all
