Rollout logs
Logging of rollouts is not included in the general logging in the mtxagent.log file, it is written in its own specific log file, the mtxsetup.log , one per rollout configuration per target device. All these log files are located under the Installation Directory/client/log/Rollout/Session/<RolloutID>/<TargetDeviceID> directory of the Rollout Server. The <TargetDeviceID> is a specifically generated ID for the rollout-target assignment and has nothing to do with the GUID or the internal database ID of the assigned device.
It is possible to directly access the log file of a specific rollout via the View Log File
menu option of the Targets of the Rollouts > Servers > Your Rollout Server > Your Rollout node.
The log displays the date and time at which the rollout action or operation occurred, a letter(s) that indicates of which type the explanation following is, such as ERR for error or I for installation, etc. as well as the description itself. The displayed contents of the log file can be filtered and thus reduced in size to find specific entries or types of entries as follows:
