Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Get Previous day error from alertlog Post 302885506 by clx on Monday 27th of January 2014 05:21:06 AM

This quick dirty one liner would look for previous day pattern (as given in the sample) and start reading till the end.
Code:
awk -v p="$(date --date '1 day ago' +'%a %b %d')" '$0 ~ p {f=1} f==1 && /ORA-/ {print}' alert_log_file


Does your script run daily ? or multiple times in a day?

I think, you don't want to repeat the alert if you already did. If that's your requirement, then you can probably do something like,

- Read the file
- Grep for errors and store the last_line_no somewhere.
- Next time read the file after the last_line_no.
- Since, alert_log file can be archived too, so need to handle the following simple case,

Code:
if ( last_line_no > total_current_lines ) {
  # new alert_log file
  # last_line=0
} else {
  # normal processing
}

Hope it helps

NAME
nnstats - display nnmaster collection and expire statistics SYNOPSIS
nnstats [ -lt ] [ -d month day ] [ -m month ] [ logfile ]... DESCRIPTION
nnstats will extract the collection (C) and expiration (X) entries from the log file and calculate total and average number of articles, groups and elapsed time per day, per month, or for the duration of the whole log file. Normally only a summary for the specified period is printed. If -l is specified, the statistics for each day in the period is also printed, and if -t is specified the summary is not printed. Normally the statistics is collected for all days in the log files (or the current log file if one is not specified). If "-m month" is specified, the statistics for that month is calculated. The month is specified in normal date notation, i.e. a capital- ized three letter abbreviation like Jan, Feb, ... If "-d month day" is specified, the statistics for that date only is calculated and printed. FILES
../Log The log file SEE ALSO
nn(1), nnusage(1M), nnadmin(1M), nnmaster(8) NOTES
If nnmaster is run with options -LCX, nnstats will not work, because the necessary entries are not written to the log file. AUTHORS
