Sensor log files use a base name (referred to later as <BASE_NAME>). The name on Linux and Unix is dbs.log and on Windows it is logfile.log.
Sensor main log — Name: <BASE_NAME>. This log file contains general logging regarding the sensor. This includes communication flow, database detection, statistics and management of monitored DBMSs.
Sensor DBMS instance log — Name: <BASE_NAME>_<DBMS Unique Name>. The sensor maintains a log file per monitored DBMS instance. The log file contains information for the specific monitored DBMS instance. This includes DBMS details, statistics and alerts.
Standard output log — Name: <BASE_NAME>.std. This log file contains the standard output and standard error output of the Sensor process. The file contains a log line every time the Sensor is started and may contain sparse periodic information output. This file should not contain errors and should not grow in size. The file is not rolled over. If it grows beyond 1 MB it is recommended to review the file and, if needed, report it to Trellix support.
Cache Statistics log — Name: <BASE_NAME>.log_caches. This log file contains statistics about internal caches used by the sensor. This file can help help in the analysis of sensor resource utilization.
