Active users

[actcognosuser]

Hi,

I am trying to establish a baseline by determining concurrent users on the system. Is there a way to establish this?
Any tools that could help with this?

Thanks!

Do you need to figure out an average number of concurrent users from the historical data (logs, Audit, etc) ?

Or you would like to estimate a max number of concurrent users which can be handled by your Cognos environment without queuing?

[actcognosuser]

Figure out the current concurrent user statistics to establish a baseline.

Then analyze the impact of adding significant amount of users.

Audit db is not set up. Is there a way to obtain this information from logs or parse the information ?

[Andrei I]

You can parse Cognos logs.... But it would be so much easier to use Audit Db

[actcognosuser]

Would you please point me in the right direction? Is it cogserver.log?

This is from parsing cogserver.log

Is there a Kb document which states what each column is? For example what are Col 2,4,5 , 6,11,13.


Col 1: Server name - 111.11.111.111:1111
Col2:   17823   
Col3:  Date - 11/19/2019 10:27   
Col4: -6   
Col 5: 969FE476F78EC07598BE9430FD9170567DC799397AA6F36EB99DB1995AD77A39   
Col 6: 2jl4M2y4Mq8j4hM9vCvs9wMM2C8d94MCwhCys994
Col 7:
Col 8:
Col 9:   http-0000-000
Col 10: RSVP
Col 11: 0000
Col 12: 2
Col 13: Audit.Other.cms.CM
Col 14: QUERY
Col 15: MODEL
Col 16: /content/folder[@name='FABC']/report[@name='XYZ Report']
Col 17: Success/Failure
Col 18: Parameters

I never had to do it.
You can look at the Cognos utility LogviewV2
It comes with the Cognos Server install (at least for C10)

I am not able to open this attachment.

Thank You!

[actcognosuser]

I found Logviewv2.jar file in the bin location.

How do we parse or view this kind of file?

Thank You!

[Andrei I]

You have to run LogviewV2.exe and load cogserver.log files
See attached image

[actcognosuser]

Pardon my ignorance.

But i'm only seeing logviewvr.jar file and not the executable file.

[Andrei I]

I do not know why you can't find this file in your environment.
Regardless  the screenshot above should help you to understand the  cogserver.log structure

[actcognosuser]

Thanks so much Andrei.

I am not sure how to get the logviewv2 executable file.

Can you please send me a screenshot of all the column headers of the cogserver.log.( as per the logviewvr.exe)


Since we do not have Audit configured , i'm trying to somehow parse out number of users running reports during peak hours.

Thank You!
