Data Center Expert Logs

[www021]

Are there any docs on different types of DCE log?

For example, which logs are in 'Event Log'? What are nbc.xml and nblogs in the 'Logs' tab? And what are capturelogs?

Thanks!

Hello @www021,

There isn't a definition of all log files that exist, but here is a quick summary and some resources:
- Event log tab in the web interface is more of a security and audit trail that has been expanded on with recent releases.

- Logs (NBC) often include specific error messages around actions that are being performed by the server such as Window Share information (mounts), NFS share information (mounts), some communication errors, and many other circumstances.

- Capture logs are usually only referenced by technical support for more advanced issues and some of the items that they will look at for performance related issues can be found within the DCE Performance Troubleshooting guide: https://community.se.com/t5/Data-Center-Expert-Virtual/DCE-performance-troubleshooting-guide/ta-p/44...

Kind Regards,

Thanks Cory! Are these logs only available to DCE administrators?
