Coloring alert.log output via tail and less

Making my day to day job easier and convenient I like having some utilities and some aliases.
We, the DBAs nation, have a need to look at the alert.log file frequently. So basically, I did the following:
- Created a script to tail my alert.log file.
- Colored the important words.
- Added an alias to that script
$ vi tail_alert.sh

#!/bin/bash

export SCRIPT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
source ${SCRIPT_DIR}/platform.env

ECHO_RED="\E[1;40;31m"
ECHO_STD="\E[1;40;37m"

LIGHT_RED=`echo -e '\033[1;40m\033[1;31m'`
RED=`echo -e '\033[1;40m\033[0;31m'`
LIGHT_PURPLE=`echo -e '\033[1;40m\033[0;35m'`
GREEN=`echo -e '\033[1;40m\033[32m'`
NORMAL=`echo -e '\033[0m'`

if [ "$1" = "" ]
then
    ALERT_FILE=${ORACLE_BASE}/diag/${DIR_TYPE}/${ORACLE_UNQNAME,,}/${ORACLE_SID}/trace/alert_${ORACLE_SID}.log
    if [ ! -s ${ALERT_FILE} ]
    then
        echo
        echo -e "${ECHO_RED}please provide alert.log file name${ECHO_STD}"
        echo
        exit
    fi
else
    ALERT_FILE="$1"
fi

WARNING_PATTERN="ORA-\|annot\|  not\|WARNING\|cannot allocate\|not complete\|LGWR: Attempting destination\|network reconnect\|LGWR: Destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_\|is UNSYNCHRONIZED\|All online logs need archiving\|Examine archive trace files for archiving errors\|hung\|Killing\|Terminating\|WARN:\|Possible network disconnect\|Archive log rejected\|request rejected\|dead\|failed\|shutting down\|shutdown\|disabled"
ERROR_PATTERN="ORA-[^:][^ ]*\|TNS-[^:][^ ]*\|Error\|Archival stopped\|Fatal"
GOOD_PATTERN="continu\|STARTING\|Completed:\|COMPLETE\|Starting ORACLE instance\|Success\|succeeded"

tail -n30 -f ${ALERT_FILE} | ${SED} "s/${WARNING_PATTERN}/${LIGHT_PURPLE}&${NORMAL}/gi;s/${ERROR_PATTERN}/${LIGHT_RED}&${NORMAL}/gi;s/${GOOD_PATTERN}/${GREEN}&${NORMAL}/gi"

The last step to make it the easiest way to run, is adding an alias to the script
alias talert='/home/oracle/scripts/tail_alert.sh'
The same trick for just viewing the file via less
$ vi less_alert.sh

#!/bin/bash

export SCRIPT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
source ${SCRIPT_DIR}/platform.env

ECHO_RED="\E[1;40;31m"
ECHO_STD="\E[1;40;37m"

LIGHT_RED=`echo -e '\033[1;40m\033[1;31m'`
RED=`echo -e '\033[1;40m\033[0;31m'`
LIGHT_PURPLE=`echo -e '\033[1;40m\033[0;35m'`
GREEN=`echo -e '\033[1;40m\033[32m'`
NORMAL=`echo -e '\033[0m'`

if [ "$1" = "" ]
then
    ALERT_FILE=${ORACLE_BASE}/diag/${DIR_TYPE}/${ORACLE_UNQNAME,,}/${ORACLE_SID}/trace/alert_${ORACLE_SID}.log
    if [ ! -s ${ALERT_FILE} ]
    then
        echo
        echo -e "${ECHO_RED}please provide alert.log file name${ECHO_STD}"
        echo
        exit
    fi
else
    ALERT_FILE="$1"
fi

WARNING_PATTERN="ORA-\|annot\|  not\|WARNING\|cannot allocate\|not complete\|LGWR: Attempting destination\|network reconnect\|LGWR: Destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_\|is UNSYNCHRONIZED\|All online logs need archiving\|Examine archive trace files for archiving errors\|hung\|Killing\|Terminating\|WARN:\|Possible network disconnect\|Archive log rejected\|request rejected\|dead\|failed\|shutting down\|shutdown\|disabled"
ERROR_PATTERN="ORA-[^:][^ ]*\|TNS-[^:][^ ]*\|Error\|Archival stopped\|Fatal"
GOOD_PATTERN="continu\|STARTING\|Completed:\|COMPLETE\|Starting ORACLE instance\|Success\|succeeded"

cat ${ALERT_FILE} | ${SED} "s/${WARNING_PATTERN}/${LIGHT_PURPLE}&${NORMAL}/gi;s/${ERROR_PATTERN}/${LIGHT_RED}&${NORMAL}/gi;s/${GOOD_PATTERN}/${GREEN}&${NORMAL}/gi" | less -R
And again adding an alias to the script
alias alert='/home/oracle/scripts/less_alert.sh'
Sample output:

Enjoy

Silent Installation

Some times there are problems using installation with GUI, the reason can be: 1. Firewall 2. Unix security 3. Client software (missing or not working( and maybe some more reasons If your environment is cooperative helping you solve this - it is simple - go for it. But if you are on your own and can't reach "the right guys" - do it yourself " Silently " Look for the proper response file fits for your needs in /database/response/ Edit it and run the following command: $ ./runInstaller -force -invPtrLoc /oraInst.loc -silent -noconfig -ignoreSysPrereqs -responseFile /database/response/enterprise.rsp You can also run the installer without a response file as mentioned in Metalink Note 782918.1 $ ./runInstaller -silent -force -debug \ FROM_LOCATION="/mount/dvd/database/stage/products.xml" \ ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1" \ ORACLE_HOME_NAME="Ora11gDb1" ORACLE_BASE="/u01/app/oracle" \ TOPLEVEL_COMPONENT='{...

Data Guard - Changing IP Addresses

Image
When changing IP of a host we should update/recheck the following places: /etc/hosts or DNS listener.ora tnsnames.ora Database parameters (local_listener, remote_listener) Data Guard configuration This document is also relevant when changing the IP address of the connection between the hosts, other than the original IP addresses we used during the installation. When installation is done using the hostname and not the IP address, most of the changes are not relevant except for /etc/hosts. In this document, I will describe how to change the Data Guard Broker configuration. Dataguard configuration Show the environment DGMGRL> show configuration Configuration - dr   Protection Mode: MaxAvailability   Members:   pdb7 - Primary database     fdb7 - Far sync instance       sdb7 - Physical standby database Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED Configuration Status: SUCCESS   (status upd...
