Today I was toying around with Eventia Reporter in order to generate some reports about the things I did with checkpoint etc. Since I build up a new environment from scratch I needed to import various logfiles. When you enter the GUI and start a recording session there ; you will find that you can only do this one log at a time. Which is time consuming and frustrating because the machines have time available to process logfiles instead of having free-cpu cylcles left. I couldnt find any usefull option last night when I tried to do this scriptified; but I found some information on the CPUG.org forum that could help you (original post here ).If you want to do this automatically you should do something like:
log_consolidator -R -e Yes -s ip-addr-of-logserver -x Yes -o No -t Specified_Log -l <logfile>.log -a Begin_of_Log -b <your connections table>

If you script that it would become something like (easy example on splat, use nohup to start the process or you will loose the script eventually due to automatic logouts):


#!/bin/sh

for LOG in `ls $LOGDIR/*<pattern if needed>*.log`
do
$APP -R -e Yes -s <loghost> -x Yes -o No -t Specified_Log -l $LOG -a Begin_of_Log -b <table>
done
