C3Fire Log File Management

Log File Management

After an experiment series the analyse tool can extract basic information from the session logs. This are done in three steps in the Log File Management tool.

Step 1	Version Update	In Version Update the log files are updated to the latest log file version.
Step 2	Log File Extraction	Log File Extraction creates one log file for each event type and inserts them in the log file folder structure.
Step 3	Calculations	The Calculations makes calculations and inserts the results in xml files in the folder structure.

Log Folder Structure

The logfiles are stored in the <C3FIRE-SESSION-LOGS> folder. If you install C3Fire at C:\ then the <C3FIRE-SESSION-LOGS> folder are C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Server\SessionLogs\

Every session log is stored in one folder with the name of the session. The C3Fire server automatically creates unique names for all the sessions. Example :

• C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Server\SessionLogs\c3fire-20
• C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Server\SessionLogs\c3fire-21
• C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Server\SessionLogs\c3fire-22
• C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Server\SessionLogs\c3fire-23

The logfile folder contains the logfile and the configuration files for that session.
Example : (Session name = c3fire-20)

C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Server\SessionLogs\c3fire-20\
  c3fire-20.log
  configuration-20.con
  map-20.gif
  scenario-20.sce

Prepare a log file analysis folder

The first step to do is to backup all log file folders to a extern disk, and mark as original logfile.
The second step to do are to copy all log file folders that should be analysed to an analyse folder.

Example you can copy all the log file structures to C:\Data\C3FireLogAnalyse\
Or you can sort all logfile folders in to group folders.
