Viewing the SCAP job log file
Logging of SCAP job is not included in the general logging file mtxagent.log. It is written in its own specific log file mtxscap.log, located on each scanned device in the <Installation Directory>/data/ScapInventory/jobs/<jobId> directory. It is possible to directly access the log file of a specific client assigned to the currently selected SCAP job. To do so, proceed as follows:
- Select the device in the right window pane.
- Select Edit > View SCAP Log File
.
A new window appears, displaying the contents of the log file of the managed client for inspection.
The log displays the date and time at which the action occurred, the name of the operational rule the action executed, a letter(s) that indicates of which type the explanation following is, such as ERR for error or T for trace, etc. as well as the description itself.
