if multiple archivals exist for the same date.
NOTE: If the archive process fails; for instance, if the host is not preconfigured,
or if there is not enough disk space, the user is notified via e-mail, and NSM
creates an error log entry. However, the selected logs are purged even if
archival fails.
Define Location
Before you archive a log, you must first define a location for the archived logs. To do this,
open NSM and select Server Manager > Servers>Device Server > Disk and Log
management. Enter the path in the Archive Location text box indicating where you want
NSM to store the archived files.
You can forward your log records for use in other applications using one of the following
methods:
Action Manager—Use the Action Manager, a node on the main UI, to configure the
management system to forward logs generated within a specific domain or subdomain
in NSM.
log2Action utility—A command-line utility located on the NSM Device Server.
NOTE: You can also forward logs based on specific rules in a security policy.
See "Configuring Firewall Rules" on page 448 for more information.
You can configure NSM to send you an e-mail notification when a device goes down so
that even if you do not have access to NSM, you will be informed of device status.
