Accessing log files not available via console

Contrary to the log files listed before, the following log files cannot be displayed in the console via a node or tab. These log files can be viewed only via the Direct Access node:

1. Select the device under a device group or the Device Topology node in the left window pane.
2. Select its Direct Access node.
   If the Request System Credentials system variable is activated and you have not identified yourself yet to this device in the current session yet, an Identification window appears.
3. Enter your credentials and click OK .
4. Select the File System node and browse the directory structure down to the respective directory under Installation Directory/master}} or {{client/log .
5. Select the log file to display in the right window pane.
6. Select the Edit> Edit File .
   An Edit Text File window opens on the screen with the contents of the file.
7. Select the OK button at the bottom to close the window.

Console logs

Two optional log files console.log and console.xmlrpc . These can only be found on the master in the default log directory Installation Directory/master/log/HttpProtocolHandler . They are not generated by default. You can configure the agent to generate these logs via the console.ini configuration file which is located in the master's Installation Directory/master/config directory. In this case you need to set the parameters EnableAccessLog and EnableXmlRpcLog to true . If you make changes to these settings the master must be rebooted for them to take effect.

• The EnableAccessLog parameter activates the generation of the console.log which logs all http access calls to the CM console.
• The EnableXmlRpcLog parameter activates the generation of the console.xmlrpc log file which contains the xml content of these calls. Be careful when activating this log, it can become very large very quickly.

Diagnostic logs

The diagnostics tool also generates its own log files, one per scan and device. These files are also located centrally on the master in the Installation Directory/master/log/Diagnostics/<device_deviceID> directory. Their naming scheme is <device name>_<execution time> . This file logs all queries that are sent to the database by the master which take longer than a specific time. By default this log file is not generated.

You can configure the settings of this log file and activate it via the Vision64Database.ini configuration file under the Debug section which is located in the master's Installation Directory/master/config directory. If you make changes to these settings the master must be rebooted for them to take effect.

HTTP protocol handler logs

The HTTP Protocol Handler provides two optional log files HttpProtocolHandler.log and HttpProtocolHandler.xmlrpc . These can only be found on the master in the default log directory Installation Directory/master/log/HttpProtocolHandler . They are not generated by default. You can configure the agent to generate these logs via the HttpProtocolHandler.ini configuration file which is located in the master's Installation Directory/master/config directory. In this case you need to set the parameters EnableAccessLog and EnableXmlRpcLog to true . If you make changes to these settings the master must be rebooted for them to take effect.

• The EnableAccessLog parameter activates the generation of the HttpProtocolHandler.log which logs all http access calls.
• The EnableXmlRpcLog parameter activates the generation of the HttpProtocolHandler.xmlrpc log file which contains the xml content of these calls. Be careful when activating this log, it can become very large very quickly.
