(Siebel) logfile monitoring

The log-adapter project was initiated because a company where i was working on a project, decided that application and system log-files should conform to their newly defined standard. Reasoning behind this was that defining, IBM/Tivoli TEC, log-file formats and corresponding rulesets for each type of application was costly due to complexity of developing, and managing (-procedures) of those rules, formats and adapters. Due to this complexity the time between request and implementation of a new log-file adapter could be weeks or months. By implementing one standardized logfile-format and rule-set the time between requests and implementation of monitoring new log-files could be considerably shortened. This standardization of logfile-monitoring decreased the lead time of implementation requests for the department responsible for monitoring, but charged other departments with the challenge to standardize their application and system logs. Many applications and systems do not allow you to modify how content is written to log-files. This log-file adapter allows you to filter and transform messages from multiple (multi-line) log-files on several systems into one standardized logfile.

Synchronizing component parameters

In large Siebel environments, a specific function or component is mostly dispersed over multiple physical or logical systems. The load over these systems is then distributed using a load balancer to make it transparent to the end-user or any other application. The challenge for the administrator here is to keep the systems synchronized, otherwise the function or application will behave randomly. When having Siebel components installed on multiple systems, compverify.pl can help you out to detect differences and synchronize component parameters between multiple Siebel systems. Another useful application of compverify is making snapshots of component parameters and store those for future reference.
