Getting the status information of disk-buffer files
This section describes getting the status information of the disk-buffer files used in syslog-ng OSE.
Command syntax
The basic command syntax for getting the status information of the disk-buffer files used in syslog-ng OSE looks like the following:
dqtoolinfo DISK-BUFFER_FILE
Example commands
The following example commands describe how you can get the status information of two different types of disk-buffer files (namely, empty normal disk-buffer files, and non-empty reliable disk-buffer queue files).
Example commands for empty, normal disk-buffer files, and non-empty, reliable disk-buffer queue files
Empty, normal disk-buffer file
dqtool info /var/lib/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-00000.qf
Disk-buffer state loaded; filename=’/var/lib/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-00000.qf’, number_of_messages=’0’
Non-empty, reliable disk-buffer queue file
dqtool info /opt/syslog-ng/var/syslog-ng-00000.rqf
Reliable disk-buffer state loaded; filename=’/opt/syslog-ng/var/syslog-ng-00000.rqf’, number_of_messages=’10’
One-liner command to get the state of disk-buffer files in the default directory
You can use the following one-liner command to get the state of disk-buffer files in the default directory:
for qfile in /opt/syslog-ng/var/*.?(r)qf ; do dqtool info $qfile 2>&1 ; done
