ViPR Logs

Where are the logs stored in ViPR?

Can they be sent to an off-site location using syslog or SNMP?

Hey,

William is corrct, ViPR logs are stored on the  ViPR virtual machines (VMs) under the following directory:

/opt/storageos/log

In here you will find multiple files corresponding to services running, such as apisvc.log.

You may also gain access to all the logs from the ViPR UI/CLI/API without logging into VMs. For example, use the Log API to get access to various logs ( /api/orders family, /logs/ family, /audit/logs, /monitoring/events, /metering/stats, few others ). 

Note, while you cannot install any additional services into ViPR VMs (they will get wiped on reboots if any happen).  It is of course possible to create an in-house log-getter type script that would SCP things out of ViPR VM to send them to an off-site location.

Please refer to the ViPR View Commodity Logs document for more information:  http://www.emc.com/techpubs/vipr/commodity_logs-1.htm#GUID-FA018118-ED37-465C-B775-BE5413151EE7

Thanks,

Dee
