Try the following, assuming that the existing redo log files are
sufficiently large enough to provide a couple hours (or even days) of
history, and that you are not forcing log file switches on a regular
interval (not likely in your case):
SELECT
L.GROUP# GROUP_NUMBER,
LF.MEMBER FILENAME,
L.STATUS, L.ARCHIVED, L.BYTES, L.FIRST_CHANGE#, L.FIRST_TIME
