Configure and use logging

The amount of information that is collected and how long to retain that information is configured on the NetBackup master server in the Host Properties properties Logging properties and Clean-up properties.

See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for UNIX and Linux, Volume I or NetBackup Administrator's Guide for Windows, Volume I.

For information about using and managing logs, see the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide

BMR activity log files are a special format that requires commands to view and manage.

The following commands manage unified logging and log files:

vxlogview	Use this command to view the logs that are created by unified logging.
vxlogmgr	Use this command to manage unified logging files (for example, to move or delete log files).
vxlogcfg	Use this command to configure logging settings.

These commands are located in the following directories:

/usr/openv/NetBackup/bin directory (UNIX)
install_path\NetBackup\bin folder (Windows)
