importtrace

importtrace — trace debug logs for import jobs

SYNOPSIS

<admin_dir_path>importtrace [-master_server name] -job_id number [-start_time hh:mm:ss] [-end_time hh:mm:ss] mmddyy [mmddyy]

<admin_dir_path>importtrace [-master_server name] -backup_id id [-start_time hh:mm:ss] [-end_time hh:mm:ss] mmddyy [mmddyy]

<admin_dir_path>importtrace [-master_server name] [-policy_name name] [-client_name name] [-start_time hh:mm:ss] [-end_time hh:mm:ss] mmddyy [mmddyy]

On Windows systems, <admin_dir_path> is <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\

DESCRIPTION

importtrace consolidates the debug log messages for the specified import job[s] and writes them to standard output. The messages sort by time. importtrace tries to compensate for time zone changes and clock drift between remote servers and clients.

At a minimum, enable debug logging for bpbrm, bptm, and tar on the media server and for the following directory on the master server:

Windows systems: install_path\NetBackup\admin

For best results, set the verbose logging level to 5. Enable debug logging for bpdbm on the master server and bpcd on all servers and clients in addition to the processes already identified.

duplicatetrace uses the -job_id or -backup_id option as the sole criteria for selecting the duplicate jobs it traces. The -policy_name option or the -client_name option cannot be used with -job_id or -backup_id. If neither option is specified, then all duplicate jobs that match the selection criteria are selected. If none of the following options are specified, all the duplicate jobs that are activated on the days that day stamps (mmddyy) specify are traced: -job_id, -backup_id, -policy_name, or -client_name. If -start_time and -end_time options are used, then importtrace examines the debug logs that are generated in the specified time interval.

If importtrace starts with -backup_id id, it looks for the import jobs that bpimport started with -backup_id id where the backup IDs (id) match.

If importtrace starts with -policy_name <policy>, importtrace looks for the import jobs that started with bpimport with -policy <policy> where the policy names (<policy>) match.

If importtrace starts with -client_name <client>, importtrace looks for the import jobs that started with bpimport with -client <client> where the client names (<client>) match.

importtrace writes error messages to standard error.

You must have administrator privileges to run this command.

OPTIONS

-master_server

Name of the master server. Default is the local host name.

-job_id

Job ID number of the import job to analyze. Default is any job ID.

-backup_id

Backup ID number of the backup image that the import job imports to analyze. Default is any backup ID.

-policy_name

Policy name of the import jobs to analyze. Default is any policy.

-client_name

Client name of the import jobs to analyze. Default is any client.

-start_time

Earliest timestamp to start analyzing the logs. Default is 00:00:00.

-end_time

Latest timestamp to finish analyzing the logs. Default is 23:59:59.

mmddyy

One or more day stamps. This option identifies the log file names (log.mmddyy for UNIX, mmddyy.log for Windows) to be analyzed.

OUTPUT FORMAT

The format of an output line is:

<daystamp>.<millisecs>.<program>.<sequence> <machine> 
<log_line>
daystamp

The day of the log displayed in yyyymmdd format.

millisecs

The number of milliseconds since midnight on the local machine.

program

The name of program (ADMIN, BPBRM, BPCD, etc.) being logged.

sequence

Line number within the debug log file.

machine

The name of the NetBackup server or client.

log_line

The line that appears in the debug log file.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

The following example analyzes the log of import job with job ID 4 activated on August 6, 2009.

# importtrace -job_id 4 080609

EXAMPLE 2

The following example analyzes the log of import jobs that import backup image with backup ID pride_1028666945 executed on August 20, 2009. This command would analyze only those import jobs, which were activated with option -backupid pride_1028666945.

# importtrace -backup_id pride_1028666945 082009

EXAMPLE 3

The following example analyzes the log of import jobs that are activated on policy Pride-Standard and client pride on August 16, 2009 and August 23, 2009. This command would analyze only those import jobs, which were activated with options -policy Pride-Standard and -client pride.

# importtrace -policy_name Pride-Standard -client_name pride 
081609 082309

EXAMPLE 4

The following example analyzes the log of all import jobs that are activated on August 5, 2007 and August 17, 2007.

# importtrace 080507 081707
