Log File Exporter
Cisco UCS Manager generates log files for each executable. The log files can be up to 20 MB in size, and up to five backups can be stored on the server. The log file exporter allows you to export the log files to a remote server before they are deleted. The log file names contain the following information:
-
The name of the process
-
Timestamp
-
The name and ID of the fabric interconnect
Note |
If you do not enable log exporting, the oldest log files are deleted whenever the maximum backup file limit is reached. |
Guidelines and Limitations
-
We recommend that you use tftp or password-less scp or sftp for log export. When standard scp or sftp is used, the user password is stored in the configuration file in encrypted format.
-
On a HA setup, the log files from each side are exported separately. If one side fails to export logs, the other side does not compensate.
