patch337.tar.gzThis patch updates the collector for FLEXlm debug log data with two
new options which will make the collector skip collection of some log
data. These options are added for each "source" object in
/var/opt/openit/etc/flexlog.conf
Options described below.
skip-ignored (set to "true" to skip data)
-----------------------------------------
which will ignore all lines lines that do not match a the standard
recognized pattern for useable values. Appart from TIMESTAMP and restart
lines this is lines on format
<TIME> (<daemon>) <event>: ...
e.g
12:25:28 (lmgrd.slb) OUT: "gf_runtime" u03234@gbl01sgi
12:26:21 (VRCO) DENIED: "CAVE" a154854@y1046079 (License server does not support this version of
this feature (-25,334))
If a new (and previously unsupported) event is added we will (almost
certainly) still be able to regenerate data with an update in the
back-end (filtrator)
required-only (set to "true" to skip data)
------------------------------------------
will ignore all lines that are not currently used in the back-end
processing, i.e all lines that do not match events IN, OUT, UPGRADE,
QUEUED, DEQUEUED, UNSUPPORTED, DENIED or are TIMESTAMP or server
startup line is skipped.
If new event is added we will not be able to go back and regenerate
data even after back-end upgrade since unknown events are skipped.
Configuration
-------------
To, e.g skip lines for product landmark the configuration
would look somthing like this:
...
sources()=""
{
landmark()=""
{
product-name(String)="landmark"{}
debug-file(FileName)="/opt/landmark/2003/license.log"{}
skip-ignored(Bool)="true"{}
}
...
Please note that skip-ignored or required-only is set per product.
Some lines in FLEXlm debug log lines occationally have wrong timestamps. This fix makes flexlogcollector ignore time in all lines that are not currently used when processing data on the server.
A bug in the bookmark function somtimes causes "rescan" of older data after FLEXlm debug file has been rotated.
