Veritas NetBackup™ CloudPoint Install and Upgrade Guide

CloudPoint logs

CloudPoint maintains the following logs that you can use to monitor CloudPoint activity and troubleshoot issues, if any. The logs are stored at <install_path>/cloudpoint/logs on the CloudPoint host.

Navigate to: /cloudpoint/openv/dm/datamover.<id>

Here, logs can be found in the following directories: logs, opt and the netbackup.

To increase logging verbosity, bp.conf and nblog.conf files can be updated on CloudPoint server at /cloudpoint/openv/netbackup. See NetBackup Logging Reference Guide

Changes to the bp.conf and nblog.conf files come to effect when the next backup from snapshot or restore job runs.

The default configuration for datamover logs is as follows:

Modifying the default configuration:

You can modify the default configuration for log retention by adding such a section in the flexsnap.conf on the primary CloudPoint server. Open the flexsnap.conf file from the path /cloudpoint/flexsnap.conf and add the following section:

[datamover]
high_water_mark = 50
low_water_mark = 20
log_retention_in_days = 60

In case of CloudPoint extensions, the configuration from the primary server are used. Once the configuration is changed in primary CloudPoint server, the configuration is updated on each CloudPoint extension within one hour. It is not possible to have separate custom configurations for primary CloudPoint or the CloudPoint extensions and configurations should only be changed in the primary CloudPoint server. Though the configuration is same for primary as well as CloudPoint extensions, the high water mark and low water mark for log size are calculated based on the /cloudpoint mounted on each primary or CloudPoint extensions.

Each CloudPoint extension maintains the logs under its own /cloudpoint/logs location.
