Analyzing the Server Log |
SAS provides a set of sample programs that you can use as a basis for developing your own programs to analyze server log data. The location of the sample programs varies according to the operating environment.
Here are descriptions of the sample programs:
is a look-up table that associates a macro variable with each message number that is generated in the server log. For example, the DINIMSG macro variable is assigned to the 43131 message number, which corresponds to a PROC SERVER start-up.
is a driver program that automates the execution of all the other programs.
creates a set of SAS data files from the SAS data set that is generated by SLTOOL1.SAS and stores the files in the library SLOGDATA. Each of the created files relates to specific data that is collected in the log. For example, SLOGDATA.SERVINFO is a data file that records the server's name and the times when it was started and stopped.
Before you use these programs, you must customize them to your site's operating environment and your log analysis needs. Running an untuned program produces unpredictable results.
