Common location for ILMT 9.x logs

Question & Answer


Question

Where can the ILMT 9.x logs be found?

Answer


This topic is meant to provide the location of most common used logs of ILMT 9.x.

***

A. ILMT 9.x Server/BigFix server logs - they are found on the ILMT 9.x Server machine

1. The 'tema.log', 'console.log' and other ILMT 9 logs are in directory:
<install_dir>/wlp/usr/servers/server1/logs

2. The import logs directory is located at:
<install_dir>/wlp/usr/servers/servers/server1/logs/imports

Please note directory 'wlp' will be replaced in further versions by 'lmt', depending on the product, so the exact location will change as following:
<install_dir>/lmt/usr/servers/server1/logs

3. Database creation logs are available at:
/tmp/createdb_YYYYMMDD-XXXXXX

The create database script 'createdb.sh' generates a log file with information that can help you check why database creation or validation failed. The createdb.sh log is in the /tmp directory. The file has a time stamp suffix, for example:
/tmp/createdb_20131018-131841.
