Log files
-
Hello,
Something I miss in I-doit is a way to document my logfiles. I explain : All our servers,Os, services, applications,… do create logfiles and I would like to document where these log files are stored and their rotations rules, I don't think the current "Files" option could do the job.Maybe I can add it manually....
Thanks
Patrick

Why not? You can create a new file inside your object (server), give it a name an location. Additional parameters can be added to the description
-
OK,
I tried and I have one comment and a suggestion :-
To give the location I used the "File-Link (extern)" field, in my test case the location was C:\Test\Test.txt. It ended up displaying http://C:\Test\Test.txt, the display is even worst when I am in the list display - each file link is splitted in many parts (I guess it is because of the backslashes in my path).
-
I sugest the addition of a file-type field, to identify easilly configurations, logs, other
Anyway it is usable like that and congrats for the great work !!!!

Yea that external link was not intended to be an "internal" link, I fixed your comment! Will be include in the next update or in nightly build of tomorrow (http://dev.synetics.de/nb)
Regarding your suggestion: isnt it sufficient to identify the file by its extension ?
-
In my environment I have various *Nixes, Windows, Cisco, and others, some file have extensions some not. But my main idea was to be able to produce a report that will show for example all the log files I have to allow me to check if our centralized logging system get them all…
Thank you for your fast response.

Hm you can put it in the description and do a fulltext search while reporting
-
Strange,
I found that there is a category and even a group for files in Other/File/"My file"/Files/Current file.
I must say that the handling of the different file versions is not reallly obvious to me…Wouldn't be good to see in the "files" tab for an object : The different versions, the file category and group ?
Thank you
Patrick
