Monitoring the scan progress

Available from 9.2.5. In case of any problems with the software scan, you can check whether the scan was started or completed, and view some extra information about the scanned directories.

Log files

The run_hw.sh and run_sw_and_pack.sh commands are the_console.sh wrappers , and they redirect the script output into the run_hw_std.log and run_sw_and_pack_std.log files. The default size limit of a single log file is 1024 bytes. The limit can be changed in the configure_scan.sh file. To change the size limit provide a new LIMIT value. If during the next scan the log files exceed the size limit, the existing files are renamed to run_hw_std.log.1 and run_sw_and_pack_std.log.1. However, only up to two such files can exist per command. Therefore, if run_hw_std.log.1 and run_sw_and_pack_std.log.1 already exist, the oldest log files are removed.

Checking the scanner version

To monitor the scan progress, you must have the scanner in version 2.8.0.0001, or higher. To check the current version, open the /etc/cit/cit.ini file.

CIT_Version = 2.8.0.0001

Checking the initiated scans

Information about the started and completed scans is written in the /etc/cit/logs/traceCIT.log file.

16/07/04 15:41:31 E [main.C] seMain:  483 IMPORTANT: ---STOP--- Software scan finished with return code=0

Checking the scanned directories

You can check which directories are currently being scanned in the /etc/cit/logs/traceCIT_scanned_dirs.log file.

2016-07-04T15:20:14 '/'
2016-07-04T15:20:14 '/iso'
2016-07-04T15:20:14 '/maestro'
...
2016-07-04T15:25:23 '/QSYS.LIB/QAUTOMON.LIB'

If the scan is taking too long to complete or hangs on a particular directory, you can stop it by aborting the job that is running the scan. Then, exclude the directory from scanning, and repeat the scan.
