About unified logging

Unified logging creates log file names and messages in a format that is standardized across Veritas products. Only the vxlogview command can assemble and display the log information correctly. Server processes and client processes use unified logging.

Log files for originator IDs are written to a subdirectory with the name specified in the log configuration file. All unified logs are written to subdirectories in the following directory:

Windows

install_path\NetBackup\logs

UNIX

/usr/openv/logs

You can access logging controls in Logging host properties. You can also manage unified logging with the following commands:

vxlogcfg

Modifies the unified logging configuration settings.

vxlogmgr

Manages the log files that the products that support unified logging generate.

vxlogview

Displays the logs that unified logging generates.

See Examples of using vxlogview to view unified logs.
