Originator IDs

Items in the tables above marked with * are a special case – where the name of the debug log directory IS NOT the same as the name of the process/daemon: The ‘admin’ debug log folder logs entries generated by NetBackup commands residing in the ‘admincmd’ folder. The txxd/txxcddaemonss write to log files in the ‘robots’ directory. The ‘vmd’ daemon writes to log files in the ‘daemon’ directory. The ‘tpcommand’ log directory contains debug log files used by ‘tpconfig’ and ‘tpautoconf’ commands.

To set the maximum logging level for all daemons run:# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin# ./vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o Default -s DebugLevel=5 -s DiagnosticLevel=5

To return to the default level of logging for all daemons run:# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin# ./vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o Default -s DebugLevel=1 -s DiagnosticLevel

To disable logging for all daemons run:# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin# ./vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o Default -s DebugLevel=0 -s DiagnosticLevel=0

After setting these options run vxlogcfg -p 51216 -o Default -l to verify the change is in place. No process restart is needed for changes to Unified Logging to take affect.

NOTE: View the DebugLevel and DiagnosticLevel entries in the nblog.conffile to see if any specific originator ID changes have been made

--where Query Examples

View VxUL log entries for a specific job ID: vxlogview –p 51216 –X “jobid=12345”

For Multistreamed jobs use –where option to build a query

To view unified log entries for a specific start or end time:vxlogview -p 51216 -b "07/21/05 1:30:00 PM" -e "7/21/05 2:32:00 PM"

To view unified log entries within the last time interval:vxlogview -p 51216 -t 01:30:00

To display all Error messages for the last 24 hours run:vxlogview -p 51216 -L -E -t 24:00:00

Using the -o <originator> option to display nbpem logs in last 30 minutes:

vxlogview -p 51216 -o 116 -t 00:30:00

To display all output fields: vxlogview -p 51216 -t 00:15:00 -d all

To view unified log entries for all Products in last hour:

vxlogview -a -t 01:00:00 -d all

NOTE: Use these commands in combination to limit the output. Best practice is to redirect the output to a file.

DescriptionExampleField

vxlogmgr --del -p <ProductID> -o <OriginatorID> -e <enddate>The --del option will delete any matching log files. The -p <ProductID> is optional. This should be used to limit the deleting of logs to specific products, such as 51216 (NetBackup). The -o <OriginatorID> is optional. This should be used to limit the deleting of logs to specific originators, such as 116 (nbpem). The -e <enddate> is optional. This will delete any log files created before the date specified.
