NimbostratusDownload Entire Event Log
Is there a way to download the entire ASM event log into one file either through the gui or command line? I would like to periodically dump and clear the log.

You could scp or SFTP the log file off if you're not using ASM logging already. The ASM logfile in /var/log is already included in logrotate to archive and purge the logs.
John_131301Does this get the event log? If I do this and search events I still get well over 50,000 events. Does anything get stored in the database?
shaggy/var/log/asm has many secev events, but the events shown in the configuration utility are stored in a mysql database.- John_131301/var/log/asm currently has a size of 0 but hen I go to Security ›› Event Logs : Application : Requests I have 1755555 total entries.

do you currently log security events from ASM to an external log collector such as a syslog server or splunk? that's probably the best way to store/backup logged ASM events off-box
- John_131301Yes, I send them to Splunk as well as log locally.
- shaggy_121467why are you looking to clear all of the events?
- John_131301So when searching it doesn't have to sort through 1755555 entries.
