Author Topic: Deleted File History in Cinelister? Yang Miller Film Handler Posts: 9 From: Athens, Ohio, USA Registered: Jul 2015 posted 08-12-2016 08:20 PM                     We had a strange situation happen recently where an unencrypted file disappeared from a playlist. We are thinking a projectionist may have accidentally deleted it but we are looking for a list of ingests/deletes from that date- however our ingest monitor window doesn't go back far enough. Is there a way to look at a longer history? Does any of that make sense? Thank you  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-13-2016 07:13 AM                     A Doremi server diagnostic report contains a LOT of data. I'm pretty sure that this information is in there somewhere. The system,in my experience, logs everything that happens... but I don't know how long it's all kept. Sorry but I have no idea exactly which of the 100+ logfiles saved in a report has clip deletion info. You can manually search for it, maybe a Linux wizard would know where such information would be kept? You can try sending it to Doremi support asking them to have a look... they have people that will know where the relevant logfile is. Also: there is some protection against deleting clips that are still needed. Not too sure of what exactly makes Cinelister refuse to delete a clip - definitely if it's in a loaded playlist but maybe if it's in a scheduled playlist?  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 08-13-2016 11:01 AM                        If you can download the logs to a computer, grep will allow you to search for the name of the clip that you want information about: De-archive the logs into plain text files, the run this command: grep -R nameofclip nameofdirectory/ That will search for the text nameofclip in all files under nameofdirectory.  |  IP: Logged
