analyze_event_files.py

In a MATRIXX environment that has event streaming enabled, the analyze_event_files.py script cleans up orphaned event files that exist due to a system outage and aids in recovering event stream information. This script is not intended to be run manually; it is used by the Event Stream Server for failure recovery purposes.

The analyze_event_files.py script:

  • Analyzes event files to find out the highest contiguous GTC value and its last sequence number.
  • Puts the next GTC and sequence number in a known directory (for example, '$LOCAL/stream_events').
  • Updates the last set of event files to discard the events that have GTC greater than this GTC value.
