RE: [FW1] Exporting logs...

[Luke, Jason (ISS Southfield)]

From Phoneboy, Q:    In the log viewer, when I try and open a log file, I get the following error message:   lvfile_open: failed to open logfile c:\winnt\fw\log\fw.log log ptrs problem   A:    Remove $FWDIR/log/*.logptr and $FWDIR/log/*.alogptr.     Lars Troen suggests that these files sometimes get corrupted before and/or after daylight savings time. I would imagine this would only be a problem on NT systems since all Unix filetimes are stored as the number of seconds since the epoch, which does not change as a result of daylight savings time. However, the log pointer files do occasionally get corrupt on Unix management consoles as well and can be safely removed.   I would say remove the .logptr file (in your case, 05Oct2000-00:01:09.logptr)  and try the command again.       -----Original Message----- From: Firebird [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 17, 2000 10:40 AM To: Luke, Jason (ISS Southfield); [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [FW1] Exporting logs...     Yeah, that's almost what I did, but I got an error like :   [root@io temp] fw logexport -i "/opt/CPfw1-41/log/05Oct2000-00:01:09.log" -o ./testlog.txt lvfile_open: failed to open logfile /opt/CPfw1-41/log/05Oct2000-00:01:09.log log ptrs problem   Aborting.       I'm sorta lost :)         Firebird ----- Original Message ----- From: Luke, Jason (ISS Southfield) To: 'Firebird' ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 17, 2000 4:29 PM Subject: RE: [FW1] Exporting logs... If they are in the .log format, you can do  "fw logexport -i oldlogs.log   -o oldlogs.txt"   Obviously,  -i inputfile = The name of the input Log file -o outputfile = The name of the output ASCII file  Also, a "-n" added will speed up the processing by disabling DNS resolution of the IPs in the log file.  -----Original Message----- From: Firebird [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 17, 2000 5:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FW1] Exporting logs...     Hi fellows,       I got a little problem, this is...
