What metrics determine the startup duration in C:\Skyline DataMiner\System Cache\SLNet\startup.txt?
We always measure the availability of Cube on a server when restarting the application, and this duration is consistently much longer than the one recorded in startup.txt.
Hi Paul,
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure which metrics are used to determine the startup time recorded in startup.txt.
However, I can confirm that we don't rely on that file for internal monitoring. Instead, we use the STT_STARTUPTIME notification message, which extracts the startup duration from SLDataminer.xt. Here's an example from the notification XML:
For reference, the corresponding entries in SLDataminer.txt are:
2025/11/07 14:50:50.202|SLDataMiner|37928|51948|CServiceModule::LaunchDataMiner|INF|-1|** Initializing SLNet
2025/11/07 14:50:50.207|SLDataMiner|37928|51948|CServiceModule::LaunchDataMiner|INF|-1|Startup Dataminer finished successfully.
2025/11/07 14:50:51.508|SLDataMiner|37928|28848|CRedundancy::SetTriggersFunc|INF|0|** Redundancy thread started.
2025/11/07 14:50:51.508|SLDataMiner|37928|51948|CServiceModule::RunFunc|CRU|0|Startup DataMiner succeeded in 00h 05m 20s
In my case, the startup.txt file located at C:\Skyline DataMiner\System Cache\SLNet\startup.txt shows a 5-second difference compared to the notification message.
Thanks Luis, that is useful to know.
