We have the problem that we´re missing a logfile in the data-store.
This was logged in the Windows EventLog;i translated it from ger to eng :
quote:
24.01.2010 - 16:05 Source: dcs Category: (10) Event-ID: 1074 The description of the event-id ( 1074 ) in ( DCS ) wasn´t found. The local computer doesn´t have the necessary registryinformation or dll-logfiles?! to show the messages of a remote computer. Possibly you have to use the flag /AUXSOURCE= to get the desciption. Further information -> Help. Event-Information: PATH\dcs-2010-01-24-00-00010-HOST.dcsbusy; PATH\dcs-2010-01-24-00-00010-HOST.log.

Orignal german message: Die Beschreibung der Ereigniskennung ( 1074 ) in ( DCS ) wurde nicht gefunden. Der lokale Computer verfügt nicht über die zum Anzeigen der Meldungen von einem Remotecomputer erforderlichen Registrierungsinformationen oder DLL-Meldungsdateien. Möglicherweise müssen Sie das Flag /AUXSOURCE= zum Ermitteln der Beschreibung verwenden. Weitere Informationen stehen in Hilfe und Support. Ereignisinformationen: PATH\dcs-2010-01-24-00-00010-HOST.dcsbusy; PATH\dcs-2010-01-24-00-00010-HOST.log.
Also i checked some the logfiles for that day. All seams to be ok cause no errors occured. The funny thing is, that the option IgnoreMissingLog?! ist set to false. I couldn´t find or get a error-message but i think there should be one, or not?
So the question is: Where do i find significant logs? How could the file be deleted or not be created?

Is it possible that webtrends doesn´t create a .log-file or .dcsbusy-file when no requests reach the server?
Yes! But I think you don't move the .logs after webtrends analysied them. So usually webtrends will always find logs.

It looks like, logs are found and could be analysied. In the profile and report overview, each profile has a status log (on the right hand side) and when you click on the log, you see two tables (the top one with less log and the lower one with a lot of informations). maybe you have a look at the bottom logfile for further informations..

No, we don´t move the files. But the point that the logs wouldn´t be created if no request will reach the server is more interesting.
I checked the logs for the days before and after the "hole", i noticed that sometimes there were 1-2 logs. And as you said, that it found logs but webtrends doesn´t check if there is missing data between the last and current check. So webtrends seams to work properly.

The amount of the logs in the report overview are limted for a couple of days. The logs i posted here are the same entries.
Can you please explain me how webtrends work? - request to server - write request to dcsbusy - when is dcsbusy copied/moved to log - run analyse of log - save data
I think there could be two reasons:
1. The dcsbusy/log-file was´nt created because there where no requests -> Connection problem
2. The dcsbusy-file couldn´t be copied/moved to a log-file
The rotation is set to daily and after 2gb logsize. Regardless to these settings, there are sometimes 1 or 2 logs and their timestamps are random or in other words: there isn´t a similarity.
It is also strange that the missing logfile wasn´t created directly after the rotation of the last log. The latest entry in last log was from 23:59:59. So i seams that there was a problem with the rotation.
you can edit the logrotate at the sdc\cfg\ folder, there is a config file.
sdc does the rotate of the logs
I am sorry that my college didn't got in touch with you, you can call him:

We offer diffrent kind of suppport solutions, including "all inclusive" where we even configure your report and upgrade your webtrends. Stefan will send you more informations..
I checked the log of the sdc. I found error messages that the temp-files (*.dcsbusy) sometimes cannot be renamed to log-files (*.log). in the windows-logs you can find the error in the first entry of this topic.
Also there is a error with the writebuffersize.
quote:
The Write Buffer Size settiing (writebuffersize) is invalid. Must be 0 that or equal 2048. It has been set to 65536.
Config-File:
quote:
#writebuffersize = 65536 writebuffersize = 1024
Does SDC ignore comments? Do i have to restart the service when i change the setting?
Also there seems to be a time-setting-error. The entries in the logs are one hour behind the server-time. Where can i fix this issue?
