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 FTP or SFTP interface on the storage system 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 the log data, the log 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 Managed logs.

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