NuoDB Admin Log Description

Each Admin Process (AP) maintains a log, which includes logging generated by it, plus all the Storage Managers (SMs) and Transaction Engines (TEs) that it manages.

The Admin log is written to $NUODB_LOGDIR/nuoadmin.log, which is /var/log/nuodb/nuoadmin.log by default on Linux. See Environment Variables for more information on log file locations.

Examples of Log Entries

DDL statements executed

ddl-audit log entries use the following format:

[ddl-audit] DDL Statement='<ddl>' User='<user>' Client Host='<ip address>

For a description of the ddl-audit logging category, see Logging Categories.

An example of log lines generated by ddl-audit, after running DDL statements, is as follows:

create table a(a int);
create user bla password 'foo';
alter table a add column s string;
drop user bla;
create view va as select * from a;

DDL Statements Executed Without Locks

The following log entry is generated in nuoadmin.log if a DDL operation is executed without a lock on the table.

The following operation did not acquire a table lock and could be potentially insecure:
<DDL OPERATION>

NuoDB recommends an exclusive lock for all potentially insecure DDL operations. For more information see LOCK.
