Issue
From time to time it might be necessary to check the EV Collector log files. This article explains where the log files are and give some example traces of different EV Collector operations.
Solution
You will find here samples of the EV Collector log files when a Single Archive Collection is triggered.
First, we will need to find and open the log files. They are stored on:
a) The machine where the modules are installed (ie: C:\Program Files (x86)\QUADROtech\Logs), in many cases, it will be a Source EV server. The log file name is “AS_EVCollector_Log.txt”
b) The machine where Archive Shuttle core is installed (ie: C:\Program Files\QUADROtech\Logs). You will find there two different log files for EV collector, first is the Client (Module) log file with name “ArchiveShuttle.WebServicesLog.HOSTNAME.EVCollector.Client.txt”, and the second one is the core log ArchiveShuttle.WebServicesLog.HOSTNAME.EVCollector.txt
Second, the log level may need to be changed to TRACE to collect detailed information.
Here you can see the sample of Single Archive Collection with Trace logging enabled, which should give you a basic overview of the command process flow:
Module received a command from the core to collect items for single archive:
