Error Logs

IIR error logs may be output by various utilities and/or returned in response to an

ids_error_get

API call.

This is a sample Error Log created by the Table Loader:

ErrorLog: [ 1.773 2] loadit > It is now 20020612123407

Interpreting an Error Log

Find the oldest message. It indicates the first error that occurred. It is identified by the smallest relative timestamp. For example, the last line from the log above is:

ErrorLog: [ 0.050 2] sort.c 1305 rc 6

This line of data has the following format:

Timestamp - message relative (0.050)

Thread number (2)

Module name (sort.c)

Line number (1305)

Response code (6)

We can infer that an error occurred in a sort routine. Continue up the stack in order of increasing timestamp looking for a text message. The messages containing module names and line numbers can be ignored. They simply give context information (a stack trace) of who called the function that reported the error.

The first text message is as follows:

ErrorLog:[0.151 2] ssadb6_ssaxld_init failed: SSAST Could not get memory

This message indicates that the sort routine failed when attempting to allocate some memory. In response to this you could add some RAM and/or increase the available swap space, or decrease the amount of memory required by the Table Loader by adjusting its parameters.

You could continue up the stack looking for more information. However, the first message is the important one. The other messages may report consequential errors, and are of less interest.

Some Error Logs will contain two error stacks. This typically occurs when two communicating processes fail. For example, when a search client (say relate) calls the Search Server which subsequently reports an error, both processes will report their Error Logs.
