Now oracle module supports only aud files. Please add support for alert_XXX.log where XXX=SID.
Oracle will write the alert.log file to the directory as specified by the _BACKGROUND_DUMPDEST parameter. If this parameter is not set, the alert.log will be created in a directory below the value of the _DIAGNOSTICDEST parameter: _DIAGNOSTICDEST/diag/rdbms/DB_NAME/ORACLE_SID/trace. If this later parameter is not set, the alert.log file is created in the _ORACLEHOME/rdbms/trace directory.
