RE: RE : {bb} Log Files not being created

["Esquivel, Vicente" <Esquivelv@uhd.edu>]

I have roughly over 180 clients and about 220 tests.  I haven't installed
bbgen since I have seen on some postings that people have been crashing once
they upgraded and I am using ping.  I don't have any problems with false
alerts or nothing of the like, I just do not get some of the logs created.

What I mean by making an archive is that I ran the command bbprune to
archive the logs.

I do have another test bb server but I don't have all the test running on
this server since I don't want to cause duplicate traffic on our network for
every device.

Hi, 

How many clients and tests do you have ? 
Did you install bbgen for better performances and use fping instead of ping
? 

What do you mean when you write : 
"I made an archive of the logs". 
? 

Do you have another bb server ?

BBOUT has not errors to report about the log files, I do have some of the
log files being created but just not some.  When I use the report
functionality it will show those devices as being offline the whole time
because there is no log file in place.  The perms on that on /bbvar and all
directories below that are 774.  I have started and restarted BB and nothing
yet.

Vince,

BBOUT doesn't give any clues as to why? Also - I would think an archiving
operation wouldn't affect the permissions of the hist and logs directories,
but I'd check those too just *in case*.
