Retrieving Appliance Log Files

You can retrieve and view log files from any appliance managed by ETEMS. Upon receiving a command from ETEMS, the selected appliances send their log files to the FTP server. on the management workstation.

When retrieving log files from ETEP 1.6 and later appliances, you have the option of using FTP or SFTP for secure file transfer. If you choose SFTP as the connection method, all of the selected appliances must support SFTP.

When retrieving appliance log files, ETEMS combines all the log files from an appliance into a single file. It creates a directory named cvLogFiles in the FTP root directory, where the combined log files are stored as .txt files. The combined log file name is based on the appliance’s management IP address and the timestamp of when the log was received. The filename format is: IPaddress_year_month_day_hour_minutes_seconds.txt.

The ETEP maintains log files per log facility in addition to the combined file. The individual log files are stored in cvLogFiles\<managementIP> in the FTP root directory. The subdirectory name, <managementIP>, is the ETEP’s management IP address. Log file names are based on the log facility, such as audit.log, snmp.log, and pki.log. The log files have a .log extension and can be opened with any text editor. Archived log files have a .gz extension and can be decompressed with gzip, WinZip, or 7-zip. Unlike the concatenated file, the log facility log files are overwritten each time log files are extracted from the appliance. To preserve a particular log file, rename it or move it to a different folder.

Log files are stored in the cvLogFiles directory until you manually delete them. When EncrypTight is uninstalled, the log files are not deleted.
