PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Administration and User Guide

Export logs for jobs

You can export and download a log for a protection job or system job by using the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.

About this task

PowerProtect Data Manager restricts the log export function in the following situations:

  • The job contains more than 1000 asset jobs.
  • The job is from a different PowerProtect Data Manager tenant.
  • The job supports exporting an external log at the current stage for the following asset sources:
    • Virtual machines
    • Kubernetes
    • Microsoft SQL Server
    • Microsoft Exchange Server
    • File Systems
    • Oracle
    • SAP HANA
    • Network-attached storage (NAS)

In these situations, create a log bundle instead. In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Settings > Support > Logs to add a log bundle.

Steps

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI left navigation pane, select Jobs > Protection Jobs, Jobs > Asset Jobs, or Jobs > System Jobs.
    The relevant Jobs window appears, displaying all jobs.
  2. Select a job from the list, and then click Export Log.

    Operation indicates the log export operation is in progress, and is shown next to the asset or task in the Download Log column. Hover over the icon to display the progress. When the log export is complete, you can download the log.

  3. Click Download next to the ID for the job to download the exported log.
