Logging server statistics with binary logging

The binary logging feature allows server information to be stored in binary files. These files can then be processed to analyze the server information that has been gathered over time.

About this task

The following information is stored in the binary log for each server defined in the configuration.

Some of this information is retrieved from the executor as part of the manager cycle. Therefore the manager must be running in order for the information to be logged to the binary logs.

A sample Java program and command file have been provided in the install_root/servers/samples/BinaryLog directory. This sample shows how to retrieve all the information from the log files and print it to the screen. It can be customized to do any type of analysis you want with the data. An example using the supplied script and program to get a report of the Load Balancer's server information from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on May 1, 2001:
dslogreport 2001/05/01 8:00 2001/05/01 17:00

Procedure
