Shell Script to Read Oracle Database Alert Log and Report ORA Errors

Shell Script to Read Oracle Database Alert Log and Report ORA Errors

In this post, I will share shell script to check and read my alert log file based in timestamp and provide me ORA  errors from last check timestamp. The script will capture data after last checked timestamp.

Assumption:
You need to know your alertlog file path


Script:
#!/bin/bash
#set -x
# Oracle environment variables (adjust as necessary)
#export ORACLE_SID=your_sid
#export ORACLE_HOME=/path/to/oracle_home
#export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
. ~/.bash_profile
# Paths to alert log and timestamp file
ALERT_LOG="/u01/db/TRAIN/12.1.0/admin/TRAIN_ebstraining/diag/rdbms/train/TRAIN/trace/alert_TRAIN.log"
TIMESTAMP_FILE="/tmp/last_checked_timestamp.txt"
REPORT_FILE="health_check_report.html"

# Function to validate the database alert log and identify ORA error codes
check_alert_log_for_errors() {
  echo "<h3>Database Alert Log Errors</h3>" >> $REPORT_FILE
  echo "<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" border=\"1\">" >> $REPORT_FILE
  echo "<tr><th>Timestamp</th><th>Error Message</th></tr>" >> $REPORT_FILE

  # Get the last checked timestamp
  if [ -f "$TIMESTAMP_FILE" ]; then
    last_checked=$(cat "$TIMESTAMP_FILE")
  else
    last_checked="Sat May 11 00:00:00 2024"
  fi
# Update the timestamp file with the current time
  current_time=$(date '+%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y')
  echo "$current_time" > "$TIMESTAMP_FILE"

  # Convert last checked timestamp to seconds since epoch for comparison
  last_checked_epoch=$(date -d "$last_checked" '+%s')

  # Initialize a variable to keep track of the current log timestamp
  current_log_timestamp=""

  # Search for ORA errors in the alert log since the last checked time
  while IFS= read -r line; do
    # Check if the line contains a timestamp
    if [[ $line =~ ^[A-Za-z]{3}\ [A-Za-z]{3}\ [0-9]{2}\ [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}\ [0-9]{4}$ ]]; then
      current_log_timestamp=$line
      current_log_epoch=$(date -d "$current_log_timestamp" '+%s')
    fi

    # If the current log entry is after the last checked timestamp, check for ORA errors
    if [[ -n $current_log_timestamp && $current_log_epoch -ge $last_checked_epoch ]]; then
      if [[ $line =~ ORA-[0-9]{5} ]]; then
        error_message=$line
        echo "<tr><td>$current_log_timestamp</td><td>$error_message</td></tr>" >> $REPORT_FILE
      fi
    fi
done < "$ALERT_LOG"
  echo "</table>" >> $REPORT_FILE
}

# Main script execution
echo "<html><body>" > $REPORT_FILE
check_alert_log_for_errors
echo "</body></html>" >> $REPORT_FILE

Output Format
It will generate an HTML report.


Execution of Script:

sh alert_log_check.sh

WebLogic migration to OCI using WDT tool

WebLogic migration to OCI using WDT tool Oracle WebLogic Deploy Tool (WDT) is an open-source project designed to simplify and streamline the management of Oracle WebLogic Server domains. With WDT, you can export configuration and application files from one WebLogic Server domain and import them into another, making it a highly effective tool for tasks like migrating on-premises WebLogic configurations to Oracle Cloud. This blog outlines a detailed step-by-step process for using WDT to migrate WebLogic resources and configurations. Supported WLS versions Why Use WDT for Migration? When moving Oracle WebLogic resources from an on-premises environment to Oracle Cloud (or another WebLogic Server), WDT provides an efficient and reliable approach to: Discover and export domain configurations and application binaries. Create reusable models and archives for deployment in a target domain. Key Pre-Requisites Source System: An Oracle WebLogic Server with pre-configured resources such as: Applica...
