Dell PowerVault ME4 Series Storage System Administrator’s Guide

Transferring log data to a log-collection system

If the log-management feature is configured in pull mode, a log-collection system can access the storage system’s FTP or SFTP interface and use the get managed-logs command to retrieve untransferred data from a system log file. This command retrieves the untransferred data from the specified log to a compressed zip file on the log-collection system. Following the transfer of a log’s data, the log’s capacity status is reset to zero indicate that there is no untransferred data. Log data is controller specific.

For an overview of the log-management feature, see About managed logs.

Use a command-line-based FTP/SFTP client. A UI-based FTP client might not work.
