现在,对于我来说,处理ORACLE告警日志alert多大不再是什么难题;但是,由于数据库是公司最重要的设备,不容有失,处理数据库相关的进程或文件还是要特别小心。
目前,ORACLE数据库主要分widows和LINUX/UNIX版本,对于LINUX/UNIX平台,我们可以使用tail -n /path/alert*.log|more来查看,很方便;但是,windows操作平台,我们遇到如下图所示那么大个的告警日志,该怎么查看。你要说直接TXT文本打开,估计是不会成功的;有人说可以上传到linux查看,那还不如当初就在linux上部署Oracle数据库。所以,过大的ORACLE告警日志是很不方便查看的,需要我们运维人员定期查看并处理。
对于linux平台,处理很简单,就是echo /dev/null > /path/alert*.log,举例如下:
首先,查看告警日志的位置:
[oracle@oradbs ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

background_core_dump string partial
background_dump_dest string /home/oracle/oracle/diag/rdbms/oradb/oradb/trace
core_dump_dest string /home/oracle/oracle/diag/rdbms/oradb/oradb/cdump
max_dump_file_size string unlimited
shadow_core_dump string partial
user_dump_dest string /home/oracle/oracle/diag/rdbms/oradb/oradb/trace
[oracle@oradbs ~]$ ls -l /home/oracle/oracle/diag/rdbms/oradb/oradb/trace/alert*.log
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 94275 May 19 18:00 /home/oracle/oracle/diag/rdbms/oradb/oradb/trace/alert_oradb.log
其次,一定要先做备份:
[oracle@oradbs ~]$ cp /home/oracle/oracle/diag/rdbms/oradb/oradb/trace/alert*.log /home/oracle/alert_bak20160607
[oracle@oradbs ~]$ ls
alert_bak20160607 oracle oraInventory
再次,对告警日志进行截断处理:
[oracle@oradbs ~]$ echo /dev/null > /home/oracle/oracle/diag/rdbms/oradb/oradb/trace/alert*.log
[oracle@oradbs ~]$ ls -l /home/oracle/oracle/diag/rdbms/oradb/oradb/trace/alert*.log
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 10 May 19 18:13 /home/oracle/oracle/diag/rdbms/oradb/oradb/trace/alert_oradb.log
处理的结果:
[oracle@oradbs ~]$ cat /home/oracle/oracle/diag/rdbms/oradb/oradb/trace/alert*.log
/dev/null
有人怀疑,动了告警日志,数据库是不是就不在往这个告警日志写日志了,答案是不会的,我们切换redo日志看看:
[oracle@oradbs ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

看吧!数据库还是会写到截断的告警日志里。
那么,widows的告警日志过大又该怎么处理呢,流程是这样的:先做备份,然后直接删除即可,当数据库发生检查点或切换redo日志时,数据库会自动创建新的告警日志。举例如下:
查看告警日志:
C:\Users\localadmin>sqlplus sys/oracle as sysdba

由于是演示,我就在trace目录进行告警日志备份了:
接下来,就可以删除原来的告警日志:
通过切redo日志,可以使数据库生成新的告警日志文件:
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
系统已更改。
