Polycom 7000 manual System Logs Procedures, To download a log archive to your PC or workstation

System Management and Maintenance

●Delete Archived Logs — Deletes the selected log file archive. Only users with the Auditor role can delete archives, and only archives that have been downloaded can be deleted. We recommend regularly deleting downloaded log file archives in order to free up disk space. (The space allocated for log files depends on the size of the system’s local disk.)

●Show Download History — Displays the Download History list for the selected log file archive, showing who downloaded the archive and when. This command is only available if the selected archive has been downloaded.

You can change the logging level, rolling frequency, and retention period at Admin > Local Cluster > Logging Settings. See Logging Settings.

The archives are Gzip-compressed tar files. Each archive contains a number of individual log files.

The detailed technical data in the log files is not useful to you, but can help Polycom Global Services resolve problems and provide technical support for your system.

In such a situation, your support representative may ask you to download log archives and send them to Polycom Global Services. You may be asked to manually roll logs in order to begin gathering data anew. After a certain amount of the activity of interest, you may be asked to download the active logs and send them to Polycom Global Services.
