Email with TLJ:
T: > could someone send out an email to all the bits telling them what our group is then…i’m not sure my email got out…our email server is a bit shitty
S: That’s CSC’s mail server by the way (as I’m sure you’re aware of)
the server’s been pretty good recently – you seem to get my mails pretty quick – could be something to do with socs.uts??
T: See, they assume I am in their group
S: What ‘group’ are they talking about?
T: – i haven’t said anything – I hate this – I don’t want to be in ANY group, although sometimes I do.
S: Haha!
T: Anyway, been doing some more Webtrends investigating – CPU usage goes up because it is trying to access the log files – which are about 10-12 mb, and this is using up all the CPU.
S: What size is the CPU, memory, and virtual memory? I wouldn’t have thought that it would spazz as much as you have indicated if the log file is on the same machine.
T : When i changed the name of the log file, and webtrends could no longer find them, CPU usage went down.
S: So – how doesit know which file to look for just when you start it up. You know – I think maybe it’s getting the log file and trying to shove it into cache (what they term the database) and once it’s done CPU may go down. Can you try it with a much smaller log file and see if CPU settles down quickly?
T: Also tried to change the name of the file when CPU usage was 100% (on a hunch) – and just as I had guessed, the folder name couldn’t be changed because it was being accessed!!!!!!!!!!!!
S: You’re smart!
T: How can I fix this dilemma?? Or get around this problem???
S: Do you need to change the filename while WebTrends is accessing it? I think this would indicate that there should be only ONE log file (perhaps per month – so you may have to shut WT down only once a month to rename files). Otherwise you’d have to set up some batch process to end the WT process, rename the file and start WT again (would it know about the new filename -does it pick that up automatically?)
T: Meeting mich and hari for lunch at 1pm.
S: Have fun babes -i want a full gossip report.
