Password Change Utility Logs

The STA Password Change Utility logs track all updates made by the utility. The logs can useful for troubleshooting issues with the STA utility or the accounts themselves.

The logs are located in the following directory:

  • /var/log/tbi/changeutility

Following is a sample directory listing showing the files.

$ ls -l /var/log/tbi/changeutility
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall  126 Feb 22 09:44 STAChangeUtility-0.log

The log records when the STA Password Change Utility is used. For each log, there may be up to 10 different log files in the directory, each with a sequential number, 0 to 9, indicating their order. Log "0" is always the active log, and logs "1" through "9" are historical. Log files have a 1.0 MB size limit, and when log "0" reaches the limit, the logs are rotated—log "0" becomes log "1", log "1" becomes log "2", and so on—and a new log "0" is started. Any existing log "9" is overwritten by log "8" and effectively deleted, or rolled off.
