Viewing the vnetd proxy log files
The vnetd proxy processes log to different files than vnetd itself. The following table identifies the unified logging short component names and the originator IDs for the vnetd proxies.
Table: vnetd proxy log files
Proxy | Component name | Originator ID |
|---|---|---|
The inbound and the outbound proxies | nbpxyhelper | 486 |
The HTTP tunnel | nbpxytnl | 490 |
The following is the NetBackup vxlogview command syntax to view the inbound and the outbound proxy log file using the short component name:
Windows: install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\vxlogview - p NB - i nbpxyhelper
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/vxlogview -p NB -i nbpxyhelper
The vxlogview command includes options to refine the view of the log file. For example, to troubleshoot vnetd proxy connections, you can use the connection ID as follows:
vxlogview -p NB -i nbpxyhelper -X '{23FAD260-7D2F-11E7-91C6-2EB679166937}:OUTBOUND'
Note:
On Windows, omit the single quote marks from the connection ID string.
