NetBackup™ Logging Reference Guide

Collect specific debug logs

Note:

Log collection is partially supported for jobs with the job type image import. Some logs may not be collected for these jobs.

Log selection constraints

When collecting specific debug logs, NetBackup restricts log selection as follows:

  • Only files with a .log extension are displayed and available for selection.

  • Log files can be selected only from the following directories:

    •  /netbackup/logs/ 

    •  logs/

    •  db/data/instance/log/

    •  mqbroker/log/

    •  volmgr/debug/

    •  wmc/webserver/logs/

    • The full directory path may vary depending on the operating system (Linux or Windows), but it must reside within one of the allowed directories listed above.

    • Some workload hosts, such as KVM hosts, that are added directly under a policy may not appear in the Log Collection UI, even though the NetBackup client is installed on them. In such cases, log collection is supported using the Activity Monitor option. This limitation applies only to the Log Collection UI and does not indicate a client installation issue.
