d.net Log Analyser

Hi all

I've been involved in the RC5 project for about a month now, and recently downloaded the d.net Log Analyser from the distributed.net downloads page. I followed the instructions, and have set up the d.net client to create a log, but the log file contains the text that is displayed in the d.net client window. When I try and open it in the Log Analyser it complains that it could not open the data in the log file. I'm running Win2K Pro on a PIII CPU. If you've got any ideas, please send them to peter@active3.com.

Thanks very much guys!

Cheers
Peter

I would e-mail you, but I'm too lazy at the moment... besides I'm kinda interested in the solution too...

I tried to find the program you're talking about, but there simply seems to be too many different logfile analyzers... which one are you using?

I hope you read this and reply since we're better able to solve problems when we're more persons working on it together!

plm:

I'll take a look now... just downloaded it!

I'll report back with what I find! 😉

PS. I guess you're a part of the TeAm huh? Welcome anyway!! 😎
 
Thanks. Much appreciated... 🙂

Yup, I joined TA about a month ago... (although I only worked out today why my stats on RC5 we're updating - the client was configured to preference OGR... 😱

Cheers

OK I just downloaded the program and ran it... no problems whatsoever!

Here's what your dnetc.ini should say under logging:

[logging]
log-file-limit=weekly
log-file=log
log-file-type=rotate

That's just an example of course... but it should work! I've got mine setup differently but that shouldn't matter at all!

Lemme know what you've got!

With love and respect your fellow TA member

Hi

I've changed that section in my INI file, and restarted the client, but the LogVis app still gives me this error, when trying to open the new logfile that was created (log00w46.log) - "Could not load any data for graphing. This may indicate that there was no graphable data in the specified logfile." Any ideas? The logfile still contains pretty much the same stuff that's in the client window. Is this what it's supposed to do? I'm sure not, since I also tried a screensaver that used a logfile to show you what the dnet client was doing (sort of the like the SETI one, I presume). Any ideas?

Do you know of any other decent log analyser apps?

Thanks
Peter
 
Hey plm:

You would have to wait for the client to finish a block first... if it hasn't finished some work you won't see anything 😱

Give the machine some time to finish a WU or two... everything should be fine then... and you might want to change that logging setup too... right now it's setup to rotate logs every week... if you think the logfiles get too long/short consider changing them to daily or monthly...

Anyway report in whenever you've got some work done 😉

and I'm sad to say I don't know any other log-analyzers... I've got my pproxy stats for that 🙂 Lemme know if you wanna try a new one tho' and I'll try to help you with that one too!

With love and respect your fellow TA member

Thanks. I'll let it run a bit, but my previous log had at least 25 days of entries, and it still wasn't working... oh well. Thanks for the help tough.
 
plm : Your log file must have something like this inside :

********************

If you want to record all the activity of your client, you have to put these lines in your DNETC.INI file
********************
[logging]
log-file-type=&quot;no limit&quot; <-------- the file will contain all the history and could become very huge
log-file=activity.log <-------- Name of the log file
********************

And after you can use logclean to reduce the size of the file and still be able to use the log viewer. Look my sig. 😉
 
My log file looks exactly like that. I'll grab the util right now. Thanks very much! 🙂

Cheers
Peter
