portal.log - Error message on report generation
Greetings,
I know you folks are tired of hearing from me. :-)
Generating a report on the portal for MS-SQL backups - Throws an error of something like:
There is an error, please see portal.log for more info
Now....I'm cool with that BUT........Please Do NOT use the same log file name across multiple locations. It only makes us waste time trying to find WHICH portal.log file you are telling me to go look at. :-)
Example:
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3796 Aug 22 10:07 ./aptare/upgrade/logs/portal.log
-rw-r--r--. 1 tomcat tomcat 682323 Aug 22 09:45 ./apache-tomcat-9.0.105/logs/portal.log
-rw-r--r--. 1 tomcat tomcat 562770 Sep 17 09:38 ./apache-tomcat-9.0.107/logs/portal.log
Also, please keep in mind that not all of us have "root" access to go look at these things (Think path to get here). Yes, I may be complaining here....but I only have so many hours in a day. :-D
Why not give me a message on the portal......Please look in log file: /var/aptare/logs/portal.log for more information.
Why do I need to go to /var/apache-tomcat-oh-my-gosh-what-version-are-we-at-now/logs/portal.log ????
And....why aren't the patches we install clean up the older files/directories that are no longer needed?
OK, I need more sleep and less stress in my life. :D
