selogmix Utility—Split and Merge Audit Log Files

Valid on UNIX

The selogmix utility splits and merges CA ControlMinder audit log files.

This command has the following format:

selogmix {-s|-m} [-fn fileName] [-l fileName1 fileName2] \

[-c weight1:weight2] [-t days] [-d] [-i]

-c weight1:weight2

Specifies the correlation of file sizes for splitting files where weight1 indicates the relative weight of the first file and weight2 indicates the relative weight of the second file. If you omit this option, selogmix uses a one-to-one correlation.

-d

Specifies to run selogmix in debug mode. In this mode, selogmix displays all settings.

-fn fileName

Specifies the name of the audit log file to be split or the resulting file of a merge. If you omit this option, selogmix uses the file name specified by the audit_log token in the [logmgr] section of the seos.ini file.

‑h

Displays the help for this utility.

-i

Specifies to run selogmix in interactive mode. In this mode, selogmix prompts you for confirmation before overwriting existing files; otherwise, it overwrites without confirmation.

-l fileName1 fileName2

Specifies the files used in the merge or split operation.

You must specify both file names for this option. For merging, specify the two file names you want to merge; for splitting, specify the two destination files. If you omit this option, selogmix uses the file name specified by the audit_log token in the seos.ini file and suffixes 1 and 2 to the file name.

‑m

Merges two audit log files.

‑s

Splits a specified audit log file.

-t days

Specifies a number of days. You can only use this option for splitting files. Specify how many days from the end of logging to put into a separate file. If you omit this option, selogmix separates one last logging day.

Examples

• To split the standard log file into two files of equal size, use the following command:

  selogmix -s
  

  The original audit file is named ACInstallDir/log/seos.audit

  The new split files are named ACInstallDir/log/seos.audit1 and ACInstallDir/log/seos.audit2.

• To separate records for the last two days from the log file, use the following command:

  selogmix -s -t 2
  

• To split a log file into two files with a defined correlation in size, use the following command:

  selogmix -s -c 1:2
  

• To merge two specified files into one named file, use the following command:

  selogmix -m -l seos.audit1 seos.audit2 -fn seos.audit.merge
