Monitoring DS-Client activities : Viewing logs : Viewing the Activity Log : Using the Detailed Log
 
Using the Detailed Log
This feature is available if the selected activity contains Detailed Log information (refer to “Specifying backup set options”). This means a log of all the files processed in the selected session was recorded.
DS-Client dumps all detailed logs to a folder called “asigra_archivlog“. By default, this is located in the DS-Client installation directory, but can be configured from the DS-Client Configuration - Advanced Parameter screen (Category: Miscellaneous ; Parameter: LogArchivePath). See “Configuring the advanced settings”.
For Grid DS-Clients, the default (if LogArchivePath is not configured) is each node will write to the “asigra_archivlog” folder in its own (local) DS-Client installation directory for the activity sessions it performs. However, DS-User can access only the Detailed Log on the Main Node. To ensure the Detailed Log for all sessions is accessible, configure “LogArchivePath” to a UNC path (which can be accessed by all nodes).
1. In the Activity Log, select the activity session you would like to view.
2. Click Detailed Log.
The Detailed Log Viewer appears.
F1 Help: "Detailed Log Viewer"
3. Select a filter (the default is “*”, which means “ALL”) and click Find. You can narrow the search by using Path Filter.
NOTE:  When you search a Detailed Log, you are actually searching for a file stored in the “asigra_archivlog” folder. You (the end-user) must make decisions about the maintenance for this folder (e.g. delete / archiving). By default, the logs will constantly accumulate.
