  • on Windows:%PATROL_HOME%\port_ int*\readerLog.txt*

where port is the port used by the agent and int is an integer (1, 2, or 3) that corresponds to the LOG KM collector's scan priority.

In about fifteen minutes (two or three polling cycles) the diagnostic output is saved in the PATROL log file located at PATROL_HOME/log directory.

For local monitoring, the output will be saved at pmg-Main-PATROL Agent host name-PATROL Agent port.kmlog file.

For remote monitoring, the output will be saved at pmg-Monitored remote host-PATROL Agent host name-PATROL Agent port.kmlog file.
