Error log

The fault management error log records error telemetry and the symptoms of problems detected by the system. For each recorded problem, the following information is provided:

  • A time stamp for when the problem was detected.
  • A universal unique identifier (UUID) that uniquely identifies a particular problem across any set of systems.
  • An http:// identifier that provides access to a corresponding knowledge article posted on the Oracle support web site.

Caution:

Do not base administrative service actions on content in the fault management log files, but rather on the active fmadm faulty output. Because the fault management log files contain historical events, the information about faults and defects in the log files should not be considered active.
