Oracle Management Cloud: Log Analytics Recipes


Here a bunch of queries I’ve been working recently. Hope it helps!

SEARCH FOR NOT FOUND WEB PAGES

Perform the following query:

404 and 'Log Source' like '%access%' 

SEARCH REQUEST THAT RETRIEVE A PAYLOAD BIGER THAN A SIZE AND ORDER THEM BY SIZE DESCENDING

'Content Size' > 0 | eval MB = 'Content Size' / (1024 * 1024) | where MB > X | sort -MB

Where X is the size in MB, for example:

'Content Size' > 0 | eval MB = 'Content Size' / (1024 * 1024) | where MB > 5 | sort -MB

DETECT IF MORE THAN ONE LOG SOURCE IS LOADING THE SAME LOG RECORDS

My colleague created a new log source for OSB access logs with a pattern that was already configured in the WLS Server log source. In the osa access log source he included a data filter but all the records appeared in searches. My guess was that the records were processed by the 2 log sources… With this query I found that record were coming from the 2 sources:

<unique expression you have checked is only in one log file>  | distinct 'Log Source'
'/pedi2/img/u173.png' | distinct 'Log Source'

REJECT ALL RECORDS EXCEPT THOSE CONTAINING “or /AAA/ or /BBB/ or /CCC/ or /DDD/”

SOLUTION: Create a data filter with an expression like:

^(?!.*(\/AAA\/|\/BBB\/|\/CCC\/|\/DDD\/)).*

Example:

^(?!.*(\/pedis\/|\/regus\/|\/pedi2\/|\/regis\/)).*

 

SEARCH FOR A PHRASE

Enclose it in ” or “”. Example:

'MANAGERS PedidoManagerMov' and 'Log Source' = 'MDONA WEBAPP Logs' | cluster
