alert log cleaning and archiving

edited Jul 7, 2010 7:50AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered ✓
I'm searching for some methods to rotate the alert log. Basically, I want just to move the old alert log, archive this and clean it to have a fresh log start.
Currently, I'm thinking at a process that removes the alert log and moves it to an archive location.  Would deleting the existing alert log while the instance is running cause problems?
What is the best method without affecting database logging?
Is there any online method or we can to do this operation just when the database is shutdown?

Database is 11.2.0.1 on Linux x86

Best Regards,
