Problem

When setting up the log monitoring tool, the log file extracted from the configuration file contains the whole line, truncated.

(info) Note: double quotes ( " ) are accepted in the log name definition, single quotes ( ' ) are not

Example:

setsessionlog=/opt/charon/cfg/AlphaServer_800.log

This affects log monitoring, guest stop script and the following menu options:

  • Send configuration and log files via mail
  • Manage monitored guests logs
  • Service management (Start, Stop, Manage automatic boot & shutdown)

Affected versions:

(error) All kits up to version 36 (included)

(tick) Solved starting with kit version 37, dated August 27th 2014

Solution

Change the configuration file and place the 'log_method' parameter at the end of the 'log' name definition ('set session' settings)

(error) Configuration file example producing the failure:

set session log_method = append
set session log = /opt/charon/cfg/AlphaServer_800.log

 

(plus) To solve this, concatenate the 2 lines like this:

set session log = /opt/charon/cfg/AlphaServer_800.log log_method = append

or

set session log="/opt/charon/cfg/AlphaServer_800.log" log_method="append"
