Oracle 12.1.0.2c Standard cluster : Empty Alert Log

I have setup Oracle  12.1.0.2 standard  2 node cluster  called cluster01 with ASM storage as shown:

[grid@host01 ~]$ asmcmd showclustermode
ASM cluster : Flex mode disabled

[root@host01 ~]# olsnodes -c
cluster01

[root@host01 host01]# crsctl get cluster mode config
Cluster is configured as type “standard

[grid@host01 ~]$ crsctl query crs activeversion;
Oracle Clusterware active version on the cluster is [12.1.0.2.0]

[root@host01 host01]# crsctl get cluster mode status
Cluster is running in “standard” mode

[root@host01 host01]# olsnodes -n
host01 1
host02 2

[root@host01 host01]# crsctl query css votedisk

[root@host01 host01]# ocrcheck -config
Oracle Cluster Registry configuration is :

[root@host01 host01]# crsctl check crs

CRS-4638: Oracle High Availability Services is online
CRS-4537: Cluster Ready Services is online
CRS-4529: Cluster Synchronization Services is online

When I tried to check the contents of the cluster alert log, I was surprised to find an empty alert log.

[root@host01 host01]# ls -l /u01/app/12.1.0/grid/log/host01/alerthost01.log

-rw-rw-r– 1 grid oinstall 0 Jun 15 14:10 /u01/app/12.1.0/grid/log/host01/alerthost01.log

It seems that this is a bug.

    1. Thanks Ricardo.

      I located the alert log in $ORACLE_BASE/diag/crs/host01/crs/trace/alert.log

      [grid@host01 trace]$ ls -l $ORACLE_BASE/diag/crs/host01/crs/trace/alert.log

      -rw-rw—- 1 root oinstall 812316 Aug 11 10:22 /u01/app/grid/diag/crs/host01/crs/trace/alert.log

      I think there was a typo in your comment.
