Auditor files issue

[boeuser4397]

Hello -

We are having some issue with audit files not been written to audit database from one of the node. We have total four nodes and on node 2 we noticed that audit files are not getting writtten to audit database, so we stopped the CMS on this node and created another CMS server and now audit files are getting written to audit database from this node but it is not writing the old audit files , it is only writing the newly created files. My question is how to write the old audit files to audit database from node 2 server. Please let me know if you have any ideas on this. Thanks!

Thanks!

Old audit log files based on old CMS server. Since you stopped them, they will not be able process.

Was there any issue with original CMS server? Did you restart the CMS, before creating new one?

[boeuser4397]

Yes, We restarted the old CMS many times and tried different things but it is not writing the audit files to DB, finally we created another CMS server and this is writing the newly created files to audit db. We want to know is there any way to write the old audit files to audit db? We were unable to find the root cause for this issue, working with SAP support but we didn't get a resolution yet.

Well currently there is no way to add older audit files to ADS other than to keep adding few of them to Auditing folder and hope CMS could pick them.

You can add following switches to CMS so that it would help CMS to identify/ save corrupt events with a .bad extension in your auditing folder.

-saveCorruptedFiles -checkForCorruptEvents

Also you can enable tracing on CMS server which could give you some clue to find the root cause.

Onkar - We already tried -saveCorruptedFiles -checkForCorruptEvents command line and we don't see any corrupted files, also we enabled the CMS trace but not much information in it regarding audit logs. Thanks!
