Crash and Log File Maintenance
Transferring Log and Crash Files to External Systems
Users can transfer both log files and crash files to separate external devices for analysis or storage.
To remove logfiles, use the package-logfiles command to compress multiple log files into a single file while preserving the timestamps. The syntax for the package-logfiles command is:
package-logfiles [name <file>.tar.gz] [newer-than <days>] <all>The package-logfiles command takes three arguments:
- name—Specify the
path and name of the saved file. Generally, the files should be saved to /opt.
If the system’s hard drive has been formatted with partitions, /mnt may be used
instead. For example:
ORACLE# package-logfiles name /opt/logs/recentlogs.tar.gz Tar/gzip file /opt/logs/recentlogs.tar.gz to include 61 files of 447 kiB (uncompressed) Proceed? [y/n]?: y Tar/gzip file created /opt/logs/recentlogs.tar.gz with 61 files with final size 62 kiB ORACLE#If the name argument is omitted, the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller saves the compressed log files to a file named logs-<date>.tar.gz, where <date> is the current date.
ORACLE# package-logfiles Tar/gzip file /opt/logs/logs-130528.tar.gz to include 61 files of 447 kiB (uncompressed) Proceed? [y/n]?: y Tar/gzip file created /opt/logs/logs-130528.tar.gz with 61 files with final size 62 kiB ORACLE# - newer-than—Specify a
time limit, in days, on log files to be compressed and saved. This option
counts backwards, starting with the current day. Thus the option newer-than 5
would compress and save log files for the past 5 days only.
ORACLE# package-logfiles name /opt/logs/5dlogs.tar.gz newer-than 5 Tar/gzip file /opt/logs/5dlogs.tar.gz to include 61 files of 271 kiB (uncompressed) Proceed? [y/n]?: y Tar/gzip file created /opt/logs/5dlogs.tar.gz with 61 files with final size 45 kiB ORACLE#If the newer-than argument is omitted, the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller compresses and saves all log files.
- all—Collect the np-stats
info, support-info.log, running configuration, and log files. Use this argument
with caution as it may impact system performance.
ORACLE# package-logfiles all Executing the command with argument 'all' may impact performance of system Proceed? [y/n]?: y writing stats to file /opt/logs/dump.datapath, it may take a while ... task done Provisioned Entitlements: ------------------------- Session Border Controller Base : enabled Session Capacity : 512 Accounting : enabled BFD : enabled IPv4 - IPv6 Interworking : enabled IWF (SIP-H323) : enabled Load Balancing : enabled Policy Server : enabled Quality of Service : enabled Routing : enabled SIPREC Session Recording : enabled Admin Security : ANSSI R226 Compliance : IMS-AKA Endpoints : 1000 IPSec Trunking Sessions : 1024 MSRP B2BUA Sessions : 512 SRTP Sessions : 2000 Transcode Codec AMR Capacity : 102 Transcode Codec AMRWB Capacity : 103 Transcode Codec EVS Capacity : 0 Transcode Codec OPUS Capacity : 0 Transcode Codec SILK Capacity : 0 Wrote /opt/logs/support-info.log file Tar/gzip file /opt/logs/logs-180921.tar.gz to include 232 files of 95 MiB (uncompressed) Proceed? [y/n]?: y Tar/gzip file created /opt/logs/logs-180921.tar.gz with 232 files with final size 10 MiB
To preserve system resources, users should remove the compressed file as soon as possible.
package-crashfiles [name <file>.tar.gz] [newer-than <days>] <all>The package-crashfiles command takes three arguments:
- name—Specify the
path and name of the saved file. Generally, the files should be saved to /opt.
If the system’s hard drive has been formatted with partitions, /mnt may be used
instead. For example:
ORACLE# package-crashfiles name /opt/crash/recentcrashes.tar.gz Tar/gzip file /opt/crash/recentcrashes.tar.gz to include 6 files of 1 MiB (uncompressed) Proceed? [y/n]?: y Tar/gzip file created /opt/crash/recentcrashes.tar.gz with 6 files with final size 169 kiB ORACLE#If the name argument is omitted, the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller saves the compressed crash files to a file named crash-<date>.tar.gz, where <date> is the current date.
ORACLE# package-crashfiles Tar/gzip file /code/crash/crash-130529.tar.gz to include 6 files of 1 MiB (uncompressed) Proceed? [y/n]?: y Tar/gzip file created /code/crash/crash-130529.tar.gz with 6 files with final size 169 kiB ORACLE# - newer-than—Specify a
time limit, in days, on the crash files to be compressed and saved. This option
counts backwards, starting with the current day. Thus the option newer-than 5
would compress and save crash files for the past 5 days only.
ORACLE# package-crashfiles name /opt/crash/recentcrashes.tar.gz newer-than 5 Tar/gzip file /opt/crash/recentcrashes.tar.gz to include 6 files of 1 MiB (uncompressed) Proceed? [y/n]?: y Tar/gzip file created /opt/crash/recentcrashes.tar.gz with 6 files with final size 169 kiB ORACLE#If the newer-than argument is omitted, the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller compresses and saves all crash files.
- all—Collects all
formed crash files and available log files. Use this argument with caution as
it may impact system performance.

[y/n]?: y writing stats to file /opt/logs/dump.datapath, it may take a while ... task done Provisioned Entitlements: ------------------------- Session Border Controller Base : enabled Session Capacity : 512 Accounting : enabled BFD : enabled IPv4 - IPv6 Interworking : enabled IWF (SIP-H323) : enabled Load Balancing : enabled Policy Server : enabled Quality of Service : enabled Routing : enabled SIPREC Session Recording : enabled Admin Security : ANSSI R226 Compliance : IMS-AKA Endpoints : 1000 IPSec Trunking Sessions : 1024 MSRP B2BUA Sessions : 512 SRTP Sessions : 2000 Transcode Codec AMR Capacity : 102 Transcode Codec AMRWB Capacity : 103 Transcode Codec EVS Capacity : 0 Transcode Codec OPUS Capacity : 0 Transcode Codec SILK Capacity : 0 Wrote /opt/logs/support-info.log file Tar/gzip file /opt/crash/crash-180921.tar.gz to include 235 files of 95 MiB (uncompressed) Proceed?

To preserve system resources, users should remove the compressed file as soon as possible.
