Generating debug level logs during an on-demand collection

By default, Enable Debug Logs (Backend only) option is not selected when you initiate an on-demand collection for a data collector. The Collector Administration provides a window to generate debug level information as the collection progresses.

The following steps to enable debug level log file generation:

  1. Go to Admin > Data Collection > Collector Administration. All Data Collectors are displayed.
  2. Initiate an on-demand data collection as described under Working with on-demand Data Collection with Enable Debug logs (Backend only) option selected.

Note:

The path for generated log file on data collector server: <APTARE_HOME>/mbs/logs/validation/
