Re: How to interpret log files?
Have you tried the other logs? The CF specific logs? They are fairly straight forward if it's a cf specific problem. Even if it doesn't show you what happened it might help point you in the right direction. On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 8:51 AM, Shannon Rhodes wrote: > > We are attempting to interpret the event log.

We are attempting to interpret the event log. Seems like the logs are just a guessing game without documentation. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335350 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: How to interpret log files?
Which logs are you checking? I've always found that between the application, server and exception logs they are fairly useful tracking down issues.

About a dozen developers were making all manner of changes. Do the logs tell us nothing? There's no documentation at all on what the log messages mean?

How to interpret log files?
My boss sent us a snapshot of an event log after a 503 error shut down dev, and asked us if anyone could figure out what it meant. I spent some time searching online for some kind of guide to log messages, but I can't find anything at all. At very least, it would be nice to know what kind of log messages are normal/expected so that problem events will jump out a bit more. As far as a common sense reading, it looks like a pretty normal initialization of services, then it gets to "No JDBC data sources have been configured for this server". I researched this error and discovered it was benign. The next 9 entries are all user x destroy entries (where x is some kind of servlet). I can't provide an explanation for what this means, though it seems vague enough that perhaps the log files will not be able to tell us why CF needed to be restarted...a shame, because on development, it very well could be a code issue. Thanks for any hints anyone can throw my way! ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335297 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
