Exporting logs

When investigating a reported problem, Quest Technical Support might request you to provide the log dump from the NetVault Server. You can generate the dump file by using the Download or Export method available on the View Logs page.

The Download method creates dump files on the local machine where the WebUI is running. This method is useful if you are accessing the server from a remote machine. For more information about this method, see Downloading logs. The Export method creates the file on the NetVault Server.

The supported dump formats are text, binary, and database table dump. By default, the dump file includes all current logs. You can use the filter options to export log entries that meet the specified criteria. For instance, you can set filter options to display log entries for a specific period or a specific job ID number, and then export these entries to a dump file.

To export logs:
1
In the Navigation pane, click View Logs.
2
On the View Logs page, click Export.
3
In the Export Logs dialog box, configure the following options.
 
Table 68. Export logs
Option
Description

File Name

Type a filename for the log file.

You can also select an existing file from the dump file list. If you select or specify an existing file, NetVault overwrites the file.

Depending on the dump format selected, the dump files are created in the binary, text, or pgdump directories under <NetVault home>\logs\dumps (on Windows) or <NetVault home>/logs/dumps (on Linux).

To create the dump file in a different location, specify the full path.

Binary Log

Select this option to export the logs to a binary file (.nlg).

Text Log

Select this option to export the logs to a text file (.txt).

Database Table Dump

Select this option to export the logs to a PostgreSQL dump (pg_dump) file (.dmp).

NOTE: When you want to provide the log dump file to Quest Technical Support, use the Database Table Dump format.

After the logs are successfully exported, a message is displayed at the upper-right corner of the NetVault WebUI.

Manually purging the log messages

Log messages that are older than 30 days are automatically purged from the database. You can also manually delete the log messages by using the Purge Logs method available on the View Logs page.

Setting up a user-defined log event

To receive notifications when a log message is generated, you can set up a user-defined log event for that message. You can configure user-defined log events from the View Logs page. The user-defined log events are added to the Log Daemon event class.

To set up a log event:
1
In the Navigation pane, click View Logs.

In the logs table, select the applicable log message, and click Set Event.

To remove a log event:
1
In the Navigation pane, click View Logs.
