Data Protector Event Log

The Data Protector Event Log represents a centralized event management mechanism, dealing with specific events that occurred during the Data Protector operation. The events are logged in the <Data_Protector_home>\log\Ob2EventLog.txt (Windows systems) or in the /var/opt/omni/log/Ob2EventLog.txt (HP-UX and Solaris systems) file on the Cell Manager. Viewing the Data Protector Event Log using the Data Protector GUI helps you troubleshoot possible problems.

The events are logged by the notifications functionality. Refer to “Data Protector Notifications” on page 342 for more information on notifications.

Only the Data Protector users in the Admin group and those granted the Reporting, notifications and event log user rights are given access to Data Protector Event Log functionality.

To access the Event Log, select the Reporting context in the Data Protector GUI and expand Reporting. Select Event Log to display events.

The Data Protector Event Log is not refreshed automatically. If you want to view new messages, refresh it manually by pressing F5.

Right-click Event Log and select Empty Event Log. This will delete all entries in the Event Log.

Deleting the Event Log contents will not delete the

<Data_Protector_home>\log\Ob2EventLog.txt (Windows systems) or the /var/opt/omni/log/Ob2EventLog.txt (HP-UX and Solaris systems) file.
