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\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.

The NetBackup Commands Reference Guide describes the vxlogview command and its options.

The NetBackup Logging Reference Guide describes unified logging and how to view the log files.
