SharePoint Server 2010, without doubt, is a bunch of exciting features and options, some of which were not available in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007. And one of the features that really enthuses me in SharePoint 2010 is the Logging Database feature. Logging Database, named as WSS_Logging, helps aggregate logging data or information from the server farm into one central location. SharePoint aggregates all of the raw logging data accumulated in the text files under the 14 hive and imports it into this wonderful logging database. This is the only database in SharePoint that Microsoft will be happy to let the developers directly read, query and build reports against it. For someone who spends time in front of customers helping them to maintain a healthy and stable farm, logging database will be a constructive app in SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint Foundation.

The logging database by default contains the following information from all servers within the farm and it is fully supported to query this database directly.
• ULS Logs
• Event Logs
• Selected Performance Monitor Counters:
o % Processor Time
o Memory Available Megabytes
o Avg. Disk Queue Length
o Process Private Bytes (OWSTIMER and all instances of w3wp)
• Blocking SQL Queries
• SQL DMV Queries
• Feature Usage
• A host of information on search crawling and querying
• Inventory of all site collections
• Timer job usage

The Logging Database in SharePoint Server is one of the many new concepts that will make the life of many SharePoint administrators quite a bit more enjoyable. So catch up on this soon! There is a lot of juice in the SharePoint family of products including Server 2010, SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint Server 2007, and associated free SharePoint templates!

FTP Site?

post2.jpgImagine a very large traditional filing cabinet as large as a room filing cabinet that is what an FTP site is like. In a filing cabinet, the clerk can label and organize files depending on how he wants it or the system he implements. He also dictates which files can be accessed freely and which files are off limits and available only to a chosen few.

In an FTP site, a UserID and Password is the key that opens this giant filing cabinet. The creator of the site has the power who to grant access to what information. Some sites have open access to everyone with a valid UserID and Password. For open sites, the UserID is “anonymous” and the Password would be your e-mail address. However, for restricted sites, there is an assigned UserID and Password unique to every qualified user.
