About unified logging
Unified logging creates log file names and messages in a format that is standardized across Cohesity products. Only the vxlogview command can assemble and display the log information correctly. Server processes and client processes use unified logging.
Log files for originator IDs are written to a subdirectory with the name specified in the log configuration file. All unified logs are written to subdirectories in the following directory:
Windows | install_path\NetBackup\logs |
UNIX | /usr/openv/logs |
Note:
Only the following types of users can access the logs: root and service users in Linux systems, and users present in the administrators group of Windows systems.
You can access logging controls in host properties. You can also manage unified logging with the following commands:
vxlogcfg | Modifies the unified logging configuration settings. |
vxlogmgr | Manages the log files that the products that support unified logging generate. |
vxlogview | Displays the logs that unified logging generates. |
