Large Monitor trace

[scottjc]

Hi All

I have a 856meg monitor trace that I need to look through.

Monitor will only read 1000 lines of info and the file is too large to convert to a text or word doc.

Does anyone have a way to read a monitor trace of this size?

Cheers.

Thanks intrigrant

Looks like a good program but every time I try to split the file it corrupts the text file so I can’t read it.

Any ideas?

I think you can better set monitor different
Let it log in smaller files, every hour for example
There is probably a way but i would not like to do searcg true 800 meg monitor file to be honest

Am with you but it has taken 3 weeks to finally get the trace, I have instructions on how to do it with Monitor but it takes an hour to open before I can see if they work.

Get a copy of Ultra Edit:

UltraEdit allows editing of files greater than 4GB (up to a size of 2^64-1).

Thanks again

Might me just being daft but I can’t get any sense out of Ultra Edit ether:

I am trying to use Monitor to make smaller log files with these instructions:

Open SysMon.

Stop Logging to Screen (Ctrl+G)

Clear the contents of the Log Window (Ctrl+X)

Open the Select Unit dialog form (Ctrl+U) - Configure Unit to Monitor as a non existent IP address.

Open up the Log Preferences form (Ctrl+L)

Set Log Mode to [Daily]

Ensure Binary Logging is NOT enabled.

Enable the Log to File option.

Create a logfile into which the file will be decoded (i.e. fill in the Log Filename box - say Phil_Test.txt)

Open the respective .mon file that you want to decode [(Ctrl+O) - then search for and select .mon file)

This will then start decoding the file.

Once file is fully decoded Rollover the Log (Ctrl+R).

This should then create a file called Monica_Test YYYYMMDD HHMMSS (Phil_Test 20060526 170816 (1).txt)

We have been monitoring a site we are having issues with for about the last month now - we set monitor up to change the file it was outputting to start a new one every 2meg - made it easier for emailing if need be - especially as the site is a 15000 calls a day site.

Yea I have given up on reading the file for now, I have changed the Monitor down to 5 Meg, need to wait and see what happens.
