Hi slightwv:
Cool, I got this file.
we have a possible security breach, and want to see all the oracle logs for unusual connections
and activities. What are other log/alert/trace files that can be useful?
Thanks,

Luchuan
- you can query to v$session view for user connection activity.

v$session will only show 'current' connections not 'past activity'.

>>What are other log/alert/trace files that can be useful?

Nothing really out of the box from an Oracle standpoint.  In the future you could turn on auditing.

You might check with your network/system folk to see what logging they might be doing.
Hi slightwv:
This listener log file seems good enough for our investigation right now.
Thanks a lot for your help.
