On a test server I was looking for a log-file on the installation path and/or one of its sub-folders with some information about a "session timeout".
I didn't know the the log-files name, but new, that it had the extension ".log". I also didn't know which exception was was creating the entry. All I had, was the string "session timeout".
With the following Groovy script I could find all the log-files containing the string "session timeout" and from there it was easy to identify the log-file.
def dir = 'C:/some_installation_folder'
def fileExtension = '.log'
def searchString = 'session timeout'
new File(dir).eachFileRecurse() { f ->
if (f.directory) {
def p = ~/.*\${fileExtension}/
f.eachFileMatch(p) { log ->
def exceptions = []
log.eachLine { ln ->
if (ln =~ '.*' + searchString + '.*') {
exceptions << "${ln}"
}
}
if (!exceptions.empty) {
println log
exceptions.each{println " $it"}
}
}
}
}
Enjoy! :)
