ArcSight's PartitionInfo.log

Move over James Patterson – Kerry “the database queen” has posted the third installment of her series on reviewing the partitioninfo.log file. Its a real page turner…well if you printed it out on multiple pages. This is a file you should be generating at least twice a month as part of a backup process even if you don’t review it (KB article 572 if you need instructions). Kerry has been the proud recipient of several “coolest chick in the world” minutes given out by me based on her decisive, insightful, and quick treatment of database related trouble tickets. She would probably score 6+ thumbs up on the Homer Simpson thumbs up scale. Actually my impression of the database support team is that they are a pretty knowledgeable lot. If you are like me and don’t know what to look for in this file Kerry’s series is good stuff.

To get to her blog go to the ArcSight community site and either go to the Browse button at the top and select blog or there is a series of buttons on the middle right side. You do regularly check the ArcSight Protect 724 community site don’t you?
