Collecting time-based and archived logs
You can collect logs for a specific duration for the sds and backup modules. Collecting logs for a specific duration reduces the time taken to collect and upload the logs to a remote server. You can also collect archived logs for all the modules.
The following command shows the options for collecting time-based and archived logs:
debuginfo upload nodename debug-URL module archivedLogs={on|off|vxdefault} startDate endDate tarName
nodename | Specifies the nodename from which to collect the debugging information. |
debug-URL | Specifies the remote file or directory for uploading debugging information. Depending on the type of server from which you upload debugging information, use one of the following example URL formats: ftp://admin@ftp.docserver.company.com/ patches/ scp://root@server.company.com:/tmp/ If debug-URL specifies a remote file, the debuginfo file is saved by that name. If debug-URL specifies a remote directory, the nas_debuginfo_nodename_modulename_timestamp.tar.gz |
module | Specifies the values for module. The following options are supported:
|
archivedLogs | Collects historical logs. Options are on, off, and vxdefault. |
startDate | Start date in mm/dd/yy format if you want to collect logs for a specific duration. Time-based logs are collected only for nas and sds modules. Logs for sds and nas modules from the archived directory are also included. |
endDate | End date in mm/dd/yy format if you want to collect logs for a specific duration. Time-based logs are collected only for nas and sds modules. Logs for sds and nas modules from the archived directory are also included. |
tarName | Name of the tar file that includes all the collected logs. |
The following example shows how to upload all debug information to an FTP server including the archived logs:
Support> debuginfo upload node1_1 ftp://admin@ftp.docserver.veritas.com/patches/ all archivedLogs=on
The following example shows how to upload all debug information to an FTP server excluding the archived logs:
Support> debuginfo upload node1_1 ftp://admin@ftp.docserver.veritas.com/patches/ all archivedLogs=off
The following example shows how to upload all debug logs from all node for all modules for a specific duration. The logs for only sds and backup modules are collected for the specified duration; all logs are collected for all the other modules.
Support> debuginfo upload all file:///log/ all archivedLogs=off 06/12/2023 06/25/2023
