NetWorker: How to automatically render daemon.raw to daemon.log in real time

By default NetWorker logs all information into an .raw (unrendered) log. This log can be rendered using the nsr_render_log command: NetWorker: How to use nsr_render_log to render .raw log files

NetWorker has the following nsr log resources and configuration settings:

[root@networker-mc]:~# nsradmin -p nsrexecd
NetWorker administration program.
Use the "help" command for help, "visual" for full-screen mode.
nsradmin> show name; maximum size MB; maximum versions; runtime rendered log; runtime rollover by size; log path
nsradmin> print type: nsr log
             maximum size MB: 500;
            maximum versions: 5;
        runtime rendered log: /opt/lgtonmc/logs/gstd.log;
    runtime rollover by size: Enabled;
                        name: gstd.raw;
                    log path: /opt/lgtonmc/logs/gstd.raw;

             maximum size MB: 500;
            maximum versions: 5;
        runtime rendered log: /nsr/logs/daemon.log;
    runtime rollover by size: Enabled;
                        name: daemon.raw;
                    log path: /nsr/logs/daemon.raw;

             maximum size MB: 500;
            maximum versions: 10;
        runtime rendered log: ;
    runtime rollover by size: Disabled;
                        name: nsrim.raw;
                    log path: /nsr/logs/nsrim.raw;

             maximum size MB: 500;
            maximum versions: 10;
        runtime rendered log: ;
    runtime rollover by size: Disabled;
                        name: adhoc-job-YWkeZF;
                    log path: /nsr/tmp/adhoc/adhoc-job-YWkeZF;

             maximum size MB: 500;

Perform the following on for the "nsr log" resources you want to enable runtime rendering:

Linux:

[root@networker-mc ~]# nsradmin -p nsrexecd
NetWorker administration program.
Use the "help" command for help, "visual" for full-screen mode.
nsradmin> . type: nsr log; name: daemon.raw
Current query set
nsradmin> update runtime rendered log: /nsr/logs/daemon.log
        runtime rendered log: /nsr/logs/daemon.log;
Update? y
updated resource id 15.0.191.109.0.0.0.0.160.9.116.98.10.240.192.221(2)
nsradmin> print
                        type: NSR log;
               administrator: root, 
                              "user=nsrnmc,host=networker-mc.emclab.local", 
                              "user=root,host=networker-mc.emclab.local";
                       owner: NetWorker;
             maximum size MB: 500;
            maximum versions: 10;
        runtime rendered log: /nsr/logs/daemon.log;
    runtime rollover by size: Disabled;
    runtime rollover by time: ;
                        name: daemon.raw;
                    log path: /nsr/logs/daemon.raw;

Restart services, once services have been restarted the real-time log rendering begins:

systemctl restart networker

Windows:
 

C:\Users\Administrator.EMCLAB>nsradmin -p  nsrexecd
NetWorker administration program.
Use the "help" command for help, "visual" for full-screen mode.
nsradmin> . type: nsr log; name: daemon.raw
Current query set
nsradmin> update runtime rendered log: "C:\\Program Files\\EMC NetWorker\\nsr\\logs\\daemon.log"
        runtime rendered log: \
"C:\\Program Files\\EMC NetWorker\\nsr\\logs\\daemon.log";
Update? y
updated resource id 12.0.188.19.0.0.0.0.234.2.36.96.10.240.192.117(6)
nsradmin> print
                        type: NSR log;
               administrator: Administrators,
"group=Administrators,host=winsrvr2k12.emclab.local";
                       owner: NetWorker;
             maximum size MB: 2;
            maximum versions: 10;
        runtime rendered log: \
"C:\\Program Files\\EMC NetWorker\\nsr\\logs\\daemon.log";
    runtime rollover by size: Disabled;
    runtime rollover by time: ;
                        name: daemon.raw;
                    log path: \
"C:\\Program Files\\EMC NetWorker\\nsr\\logs\\daemon.raw";

Restart services, once services have been restarted the real-time log rendering begins:

If the system is a client only:

net stop nsrexecd /y
net start nsrexecd

If the system is a NetWorker server:

net stop nsrexecd /y
net start nsrd

If the system contains a NetWorker Management Console (NMC) server, GST services must be started:

net start gstd
