Watch the Event Logs
It’s the end of our Spring term, and yes occasionally somebody can’t sign on to their Oracle instance because their event log is full. They get the following message on Winodws:
C:\>sqlplus / AS sysdba SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production ON Wed Jul 15 10:19:37 2009 Copyright (c) 1982, 2008, Oracle. ALL rights reserved. Enter password: ERROR: ORA-28056: Writing audit records TO Windows Event Log failed |
The fix is simple, just delete your items from your Windows’ event log. 😉
