Finding Unique Exception Details from Logs in WCS

In WCS, all the log details will be generated in SystemOut.log and trace.log files, unless the logging feature is customized. It will be difficult to go through the logs and findout the list of unique exceptions in it, especially in a production environment which will be running in unix/aix servers.

The following unix commands can be used to findout unique exceptions in logs

Getting all the unique exception:

Direct your putty output to a text file and execute the following grep. The text file will have all the exception.

grep -io "[a-zA-Z.0-9]*exception" SystemOut.log | sort -i | uniq

Instead of grepping  exceptions alone we grep the entire lines. This will have little more details.

Direct your putty output to a text file and execute the following grep. The text file will have all the exception with whole line from exception trace.

               

 grep -i 'exception' SystemOut.log | sort -u | uniq –u
