Viewing log messages

You can view the log messages from the View Logs page. From this page, you can perform various log-related tasks, like download or export log messages, set log events, or purge log messages.

MSP administrator, tenant administrator, and tenant user can view job messages of the authorized client machines.

On the View Logs page, you can view the log messages generated by various processes.
Figure 26. View Logs page

Severity: Severity level of the message.
Date: Sate and time when the log was generated.
Job ID: Job identification number.
Class: Type of operation that generated the logs.

Log messages related to backup, restore, and report jobs.

Warning

To view the context information, click anywhere in the Severity column. Alternatively, select the message, and click More Info. The dialog box that appears can include data transfer details, execution scripts, or other information. After reviewing the details, click OK to close the dialog box.

 

Setting the 'Display Level' to a particular severity level shows log messages for the selected severity and higher.

To set the filter options (For more information on table filter options for View Logs page, see Table 8), view the page size setting, column sort order, applied filters in the table, export the records, or edit table settings, click the icons at the lower- right corner of the table.
5
You can use the Display Level option to filter the messages based on their severity level. When you specify the severity level, the messages at that level and higher are displayed on the View Logs page.
By default, Display Level is set to Job Messages. With this setting, you can view Job Messages, Warnings, Errors, and Severe errors on the page. To specify the minimum severity level for messages that are displayed, select the level in the Display Level list.
6
The View Logs page loads a maximum of 10,000 records initially. The total number of records fetched is displayed at the lower-right corner of the table.
You can click Load more to load the next set of records, if available. Each load action fetches a maximum of 10,000 records. This button is disabled if there are no more records to load.

Downloading logs

When investigating a reported problem, Quest Technical Support might request you to provide the log dump from the NetVault Backup 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. The Export method creates the file on the NetVault Backup Server. For more information about this method, see Exporting logs.

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 download 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 download these entries to a dump file.

2
Click Download, and in the Confirm Download Logs dialog box, select the dump format:
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.
Database Table Dump: Select this option to export the logs to a PostgreSQL dump (pg_dump) file.

Click Download, and in the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
