View Agent Collection Warnings

Oracle Logging Analytics lets you view the warning messages generated during log collection using the management agent. This helps you to diagnose problems with the sources or entities and to take corrective action.

After the cause of a collection warning is addressed, it is cleared from the list and will not be reported.

Following are the types of collection warning messages that are displayed:

  • Agent configured to monitor too many files

  • Authorization failed

  • Cannot open port

  • Cannot read file

  • Configuration issue

  • Connection identifier is empty

  • Credential can not be accessed

  • Credential corrupted

  • Credential is not enabled

  • Credential not found

  • Credential store not found

  • Database connection can not be established

  • File not found

  • Invalid sequence column

  • Large directory handling not enabled

    See Enable Log Collection from Large Folders.

  • Log upload request failed

  • Missing file permission

  • Too many historic files

  • SQL query execution error

View Agent Collection Warnings Details

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Observability & Management. Under Logging Analytics, click Administration. The Administration Overview page opens.

  2. The administration resources are listed in the left hand navigation pane under Resources. Click Agent Collection Warnings.

    The Agent Collection Warnings page opens. This displays the list of warnings generated while collecting logs on the agent side.

    Use the multiple filters available in the left pane like Start Date, End Date, Entity Type, Source, Warning Message, and Warning State to narrow down your search for the warning messages.

    The Start Date and End Date filters use the First Reported information of the warning message to help in filtering.

    The Source Pattern that is displayed adjacent to the warning message is the one which is associated with the problem among the multiple patterns defined for that source.

    Hover the cursor on the warning message to view more details about the warning.

  3. Optionally, you can hide a warning if you want to temporarily ignore it and address it at a later point in time. Click Actions Actions menu icon > click Hide.

    Alternatively, you can select multiple warnings and hide them using the Hide Warnings button. Use the Warning State filter in the left navigation pane to view the hidden warning messages. You can move the hidden warnings back to the active list by using the Actions Actions menu icon and clicking Unhide.

  4. Additionally, in response to a warning, if you want to remove the association between its entity and source, then click Actions Actions menu icon > click Remove Association. The management agent stops collecting logs from that source and entity after removing the association. Then, the warning gets automatically cleared.
