DiveLine Server Logs

This page describes the standard DiveLine server log files. For information about audit log files, see Audit Logging.

DiveLine Server Log Files

DiveLine server log files identify information generated during a DiveLine server session. Log files include the following information:

  • What was opened and by whom
  • What happened during the session
  • What occurred to cause an error or crash, if one occurred

NOTE: The /logs-#####/ directory is simply /logs/ when using the default port, 2130.

The DiveLine server creates several different log files during normal use:

  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/configuration-changes
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/events
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/production
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/sessions
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/usage

Each log type has sub-directories for each month:

  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/configuration-changes/YYYYMM
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/events/YYYYMM
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/production/YYYYMM
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/sessions/YYYYMM
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/usage/YYYYMM

And, each monthly sub-directory contains log files for every day:

  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/configuration-changes/YYYYMM/configuration-changes-YYYMMDD.log
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/events/YYYYMM/events-YYYYMMDD.log
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/production/YYYYMM/prod-YYYYMMDD.log
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/sessions/YYYYMM/YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_####.log
  • /dl-dataroot/logs-<port number>/usage/YYYYMM/usage-YYYYMMDD.log

Within the usage and event log files, there is a Session ID column. When users connect to a DiveLine server, they are assigned a session ID based on the time that they connect plus a unique number. Session IDs are in the following format:

YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ####

The #### might be shorter than four digits. These digits are the process ID (PID) of the DI-DiveLine server instance that is handling the connection to the server. Session ID is a column value that can connect rows of data across log files.

NOTE: DiveLine log files are cumulative. DI recommends that you set up housekeeping scripts to periodically archive and delete the daily log files.

DivePort logs

DivePort has a logging mechanism, separate from DiveLine. DivePort session logs are kept in the /di/solution/webdata/<diveport>/logs/session/YYYYMM folder.
