Which is the current LA log database?

I am looking at Database Manager trying to determine which log is currently being used for log data. I know that the Database Details view on the website identifies the server and the "catalog". But, I can't find that information for the log database. Can anyone help? Thank you.

  • Hi  . Can you expand on what you are looking for, please? All syslogs/traps/custom logs managed will store the in the SolarWindsOrionLog database. The logs in %programdata%/SolarWinds will show what;s going on with LA, but the data will be in the DB.

    Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you!

  • I am trying to verify the name of the AL database. It may or may not be using the default name, but looking at the databases listed in Database Manager under the server, it is not obvious that any of them are the log database. Was hoping to find that information displayed somewhere else like what you see on the Database Details view for the Platform database.

  • Ah! Thanks for clarifying.

    Simplest was would be using the Database Manager, located on your Main Polling Engine. Open that, click 'Orion server', and you'll see all the databases. Expand the top level of each, and look for the table 'OrionLog':

    That's your LA database.

    Finally, you could run through the configuration wizard, as that asks you to confirm the names of the various platform databases as you go, but shows the currently configured values. An extreme option, which would require downtime to complete, but as a last port of call will give you the information you need.
