How log files are transferred and identified

Log files can be transferred to the log-collection system in two ways, depending on whether the managed logs feature is configured to operate in push mode or pull mode:
  • In push mode, when log data has accumulated to a significant size, the storage system sends notification events with attached log files through email to the log-collection system. The notification specifies the storage-system name, location, contact, and IP address, and contains a single log segment in a compressed zip file. The log segment will be uniquely named to indicate the log-file type, the date/time of creation, and the storage system. This information will also be in the email subject line. The file name format is logtype_yyyy_mm_dd__hh_mm_ss.zip.
  • In pull mode, when log data has accumulated to a significant size, the system sends notification events via email, SMI-S, or SNMP traps, to the log-collection system. The notification will specify the storage-system name, location, contact, and IP address and the log-file type (region) that needs to be transferred. The storage system's FTP/SFTP interface can be used to transfer the appropriate logs to the log-collection system, as described in Transferring log data to a log-collection system.
