Fixed that issue: http://exportcrawllog.codeplex.com/SourceControl/PatchList.aspx

Someone needs to evaluate that.

New Post: Potential bug in Export Crawl Log.

okoestner — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:53:02 GMT

That is really a bug. Looking at the source code will show this:

            ' message type filter options are mutually exclusive, last one set wins.
            If arguments.messageType.Contains("s") Then
                clf.AddFilter(MessageType.Warning)
            End If
            If arguments.messageType.Contains("w") Then
                clf.AddFilter(MessageType.Warning)
            End If
            If arguments.messageType.Contains("e") Then
                clf.AddFilter(MessageType.Error)
            End If

It should be:

            ' message type filter options are mutually exclusive, last one set wins.
            If arguments.messageType.Contains("s") Then
                clf.AddFilter(MessageType.Success)
            End If
            If arguments.messageType.Contains("w") Then
                clf.AddFilter(MessageType.Warning)
            End If
            If arguments.messageType.Contains("e") Then
                clf.AddFilter(MessageType.Error)
            End If

Now we need someone to fix this.

I have been using this utility over the past week to export errors and warnings which it performed very well, But today when I tried to export the successes using "-mt s " , it exported the same warnings that I got using "-mt w" option.

Has anyone experienced similar problem?

Great news - thanks for following up with your findings.

New Post: Export log for a crawl on a shared drive

binojpb — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:00:36 GMT

I am not a developer. Can't comment on the code, but with some exploration of the options, found a way to get it done. I used the -hostname option to acheive my results

C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN>stsadm -o ExportCrawlLog -t d -site "http://XXYXX/" -history -outfile c:\downloads\crawl.csv -s "2009-09-12 07:20:00" -e "2009-09-18 08:00:00" -hostname co-shr-w -mt e

To get the errors on the actual sharepoint site i had to use

To get a consolidated error log just exclude the -hostname option. That does the trick

Double thumbs up to lkuhn. Not a defect. It was an operator error.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I think you have uncovered a defect in the tool. I must admit that exporting log messages from a file share content source is not accomodated in the current implementation. You will notice in the source code at line 42 of ExportCrawlLog.vb that the code there assumes that the -site parameter refers to a SharePoint site in farm. This is a design problem with the tool and so unfortunately I can't offer a work around with the current version.

New Post: Export log for a crawl on a shared drive

binojpb — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:39:22 GMT

I was able to run the command successfully to export the log for a crawl performed on our website. However, I have configured a shared drive as a content source on which crawl is run periodically. When I try to export the log for this content drive, I get error message

Here is the command I used.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN>stsadm -o ExportCrawlLog -t d -site "//co-shr-w/SHRVOL/SHARED/" -history -outfile c:\downloads\crawl.log -s "2009-09-18 07:30:00" -e "2009-09-18 08:00:00" -mt w

and the error message I got is:

The Web application at //co-shr-w/SHRVOL/SHARED/ could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.

I also tried

C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN>stsadm -o ExportCrawlLog -t d -site "file://co-shr-w/SHRVOL/SHARED/" -history -outfile c:\downloads\crawl.log -s "2009-09-18 07:30:00" -e "2009-09-18 08:00:00" -mt w

but got the same error message.

Can you please suggest how to do it right?

Thanks in advance.

New Post: Issue with ExportCrawllog command

vartaka — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 13:58:33 GMT

Hi,

I finally got the issue resolved by installing the gacutil.exe tool (I had to install the entire Microsft .NET framework SDK v2.0 to get the tool).
I then ran installed the 'ExportCrawlLog' extensions from the SDK command propmpt. This seemed to do the trick and installed the 'exportcrawllog' extension correctly.
Hope this helps someone out there...

Thanks for your help!

You are doing step 3 incorrectly. There are two ways to do that

- either use Windows explorer to drag/drop the dll into C:\windows\assembly or use gacutil /i (see here for details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ex0ss12c(VS.80).aspx)

You can verify if it has installed correctly by using Windows explorer and browsing C:\windows\assembly and ensure that it is visible there.

HIi....Thanks for trying to help me out.

This is where I am now: I tried reinstalling the extension: I followed the steps:

1.Ran "deploySTSADMExportCrawlLog.cmd" It did not come back with any error.

2. I checked and the file "stsadmcommands.STSADMExportCrawlLog.xml"
was in the "...Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\CONFIG" folder.

3. Also I copied the "STSADMExportCrawlLog.dll" file into "C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL" folder

I then copied the exact command and enclosed the outfile path in quotes. However it still gave the error:
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: type

Is there something in the installation process I am doing wrong? Thanks again!

Recheck that you have followed the install steps correctly, and when entering the command line, use the exact casing (e.g. stsadm -o ExportCrawlLog -t c -site "http://moss.litwareinc.com") as shown in the examples on the home page and in this blog post: http://blogs.technet.com/paulki/archive/2009/02/04/using-the-exportcrawllog-stsadm-extension.aspx

Another suggestion is that when specifying the value for –outfile enclose complex paths in quotes. I think I only ever tested supplying a file name only.

Thanks for your quick response!

I get the "unhandled exception" error (mentioned in previous post) when I run the command: stsadm.exe -help exportcrawllog

However, when I run the actual commands: stsadm -o exportcrawllog -t d -site "http://example.com" -outfile C:\crawllog
OR: stsadm -o exportcrawllog -t d -site "http://example.com" -outfile C:\crawllog -mt s
I get the following error:
Value cannot be Null
Parameter name: type
I also tried running it with the startdatetime, enddatetime, parameters but still got the error message
