The doctor-log script is a tool that provides information about the logging system and helps to identify and troubleshoot common issues. The script runs automatically every night and generates a report that contains the following information:
Current and daily average logging rates: This shows how many logs are being generated and received by the log server per second. It can help to monitor the logging performance and identify any spikes or drops in the logging rate.
Indexing status: This shows the status of the log indexing process, which enables faster and more efficient log searches. It can help to identify any issues with the indexing system, such as delays, failures, or errors.
Size: This shows the size of the log files and the disk space used by the logging system. It can help to manage the disk space and plan for log rotation and backup.
The doctor-log script also provides some troubleshooting tips and repair options for common logging issues, such as corrupted log files, missing log indexes, or low disk space. The script can be run manually or scheduled to run at a specific time. The script output can be viewed in the SmartConsole or in the log server file system.
