Normal?

4D v2004.7r3HF3, A4d v4+ Macintosh.

 

4D Server 4DDebugLog.txt (Detailed Logging)

 

Is it NORMAL for Active4D to perform calls such as below, continuously about
20 times a second, when not otherwise processing web requests?

 

49575 [5]              plugInName: Active4D v4; externCall: -89.

49575 [5]              plugInName: Active4D v4; externCall: -93.

49575 [5]              plugInName: Active4D v4; externCall: -89.

49575 [5]              plugInName: Active4D v4; externCall: -93.

49575 [5]              plugInName: Active4D v4; externCall: -89.

49575 [5]              plugInName: Active4D v4; externCall: -93.

 

Or is it the effect of exposing port 80 or port 443 to the internet and
having at least one of those ports constantly polled?

 

These entries appear when using SET DATABASE PARAMETER(34;2)
`4ddebuglog;Detailed

 

Thanks,

I have no knowledge of A4D internals, but could they be a result of the
'A4D Housekeeper' process? 20 times per _second_ does seem excessive
though.

Brad,

I was wrong about the 20 time per second. I was reading the log incorrectly.

I checked a different portion of another log and found 319 such calls to
Active4D in .027 of a second, or 27 milliseconds.

This is approximately 12,000 such calls per second. And this is while the
site is "Idle". To avoid saturation of the drive, I cut the log file off
after 10MB, sometimes it seems like it's just a few seconds.

These 29 were all logged in the same 1000th of a second:
662 [6] (1) plugInName: Active4D v4; externCall: -93.
662 [6] (1) plugInName: Active4D v4; externCall: -89.

David,

I have several databases running with Active4D and have never seen  
that A4D does slow down a PC/Mac or causes any harm. You should ask 4D  
what they are logging. There is (an old) TechNote database which  
analyses the log. Maybe Brendan didn't hide it away and you get an  
hold of it.

Unless you suspect that a plugin in causing a problem, you should not log it.. the Tech Note in question is supposed to do implement some form of "log-rolling" so that just the last few logs are kept. You really don't want to be looking at this, till the database crashes, and then you want to see the last activity right before it crashed.

I'll find out in the next couple of days, when I put it into my next project about to go into testing.

Just search the KB2.0 with "debug log", and several Tech Notes and Tech Tips hits will show up.

Mehboob,

You intentions are good. Thanks.

I am doing exactly what I intended to do with the 4DDebugLog.txt. It
generates a new log after it reached 10MB, the old log is renamed. When the
next log reaches 10MB, the last log is deleted and a new one created. There
are always 2 logs.

I can easily reduce the log size, but initially I needed to see more.

David

Write into system log before 4D Crash on Web Request

by Oliver Brodwolf :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hello

There are days, where my Webserver (4D Application with 4D webserver  
and Acitive4D ons OS X 10.5) crashes more then 10 times in one our.
Is there a technic to write direct to the OS X Sytem.log like printf,  
so that I can see the web request which creates the crash?
I want to do this in the On Web Connection Method.
If I write into a document, and the 4D Application crashes, the newest  
request-Lines are not included into the log-file.

Regards Oliver

Oliver,

last time I had this, it was a corrupted structure in 4D 2004.7. The  
only solution was to rebuild it with 4D Insider. you might also check  
your data file.
