GTHR

The gthr file extension is related to the Microsoft Exchange Server, a mail server and calendaring server developed by Microsoft.

After SharePoint Portal Server crawls a content source, all documents may not be indexed because of errors or rule exclusions. You can use the Gthrlog.vbs utility to extract more information about these documents from the gather logs. You may also want to view successful index entries, which are not shown in the Web page viewer by default.

Gatherer log files are created during every index update, and can be found in the following folder, which is typically located in ProgramFiles\SharePointPortalServer on the drive that you installed the SharePoint Portal Server program files to: Data\FTData\SharePointPortalServer\GatherLogs\workspace_name All files that have the .gthr extension are log files.

You can view these files to identify the documents that were successfully indexed. To find the log that corresponds to the most recent index update, locate the .gthr file with the most recent timestamp. The .gthr files are difficult to read by using a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad. To parse the logs into a readable format, run the Gthrlog.vbs utility against the log file.
