Consistency
January 20th, 2009
Spacewalk uses a number of different systems and languages, including the web server, Java application server, and Oracle database. I’m trying to debug performance issues and in my load test, I managed to crash something in my server. So I start to look at log files. One of the nice parts about Linux is the standard directory structure, so I go into /var/log and look around.
Apache Log Files:
/var/log/httpd/error_log
/var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log
Tomcat (Java application server)
/var/log/tomcat/catalina.out
Oracle… one would assume /var/log/oracle right? No, that’s too damn easy.
/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/log/listener.log
Why Oracle, why…
