How to read a Domino Console.log

Hello all,

I need some help on reading and understanding the console.log file.

I'll give you an example:

[256C:001E-26D8] 13.04.2015 16:15:42,77 SSL_Handshake> Current Cipher 0x0000 (Unknown Cipher)
[256C:001A-0C88] 13.04.2015 16:15:42   Router: No messages transferred to ICP-GMBH.DE (host mxrelay1.icp-companies.com) via SMTP: Unexpected TCP error.  See the Notes log file on this system for error code.
[256C:001E-26D8] 13.04.2015 16:15:42,78 SSL_Handshake> outgoing ->protocolVersion: 0303
[256C:001E-26D8] 13.04.2015 16:15:42,78 SSLEncodeClientHello> We offered SSL/TLS version TLS1.0 (0x0301)
[19B4:0038-279C] 13.04.2015 16:15:42   SMTP Server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx connected
[19B4:0038-27E8] 13.04.2015 16:15:42   SMTP Server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx disconnected. 0 message[s] received
[256C:0009-231C] 13.04.2015 16:15:42   Router: Failed to connect to SMTP host ICP-GMBH.DE because Unexpected TCP error.  See the Notes log file on this system for error code.
[256C:001E-26D8] 13.04.2015 16:15:42,81 SSLProcessServerHello> Server chose SSL/TLS version TLS1.0 (0x0301)

I always thought that the number in square brackets on the left side is some kind of a thread identifier and all lines that share that identifier belong to the same transaction or operation.

But this seems not to be always true.

What I need to do is to identify one single SSL-Handshake so I can see from Beginning to End what happened with a specific connection.

Best Regards

Ron

Threadid info
Ron,

The info in brackets is [PID:VTID-PTID], where:

PID = Process ID
VTID = Virtual Thread ID
PTID = Physical Thread ID

additional question

Thanks Chad for your advice. But it leads me to another question:

If I want to observe the complete Process of Mail sending or one particular message. From the beginning of the Handshake up to the successfull SMTP-Quit, Are they all running under the same [PID:VTID-PTID] Identifier?

I don't know of a way to correlate the log entries
There are multiple processes involved (Router, SMTP), and those processes are multi-threaded, so I don't know of a foolproof way to correlate the entries.
