Items in the tables above marked with * are a special case – where the name of the debug log directory IS NOT the same as the name of the
process/daemon: The ‘admin’ debug log folder logs entries generated by NetBackup commands residing in the ‘admincmd’ folder. The txxd/txxcd
daemonss write to log files in the ‘robots’ directory. The ‘vmd’ daemon writes to log files in the ‘daemon’ directory. The ‘tpcommand’ log directory contains
debug log files used by ‘tpconfig’ and ‘tpautoconf’ commands.

For Multistreamed jobs use –where option to build a query PRODID or (prodid = Search for the product ID or the abbreviated
prodid 51216) name of product.
To view unified log entries for a specific start or end time:

orgid 116) name of the component.
To view unified log entries within the last time interval:
(pid = Search for the process ID that logged the
vxlogview -p 51216 -t 01:30:00 PID or pid
27187) message.

To display all Error messages for the last 24 hours run: TID or tid (tid = 3) Search for the thread ID.

Rollover Mode Examples

To set the RolloverMode to LocalTime
vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o Default -s RolloverMode=LocalTime -s
RolloverAtLocalTime=00:00
Deleting VxUL Logs
vxlogmgr --del -p <ProductID> -o <OriginatorID> -e <enddate>
To set the RolloverMode to FileSize
The --del option will delete any matching log files.
vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o Default -s RolloverMode=FileSize -s
The -p <ProductID> is optional. This should be used to limit the deleting of logs
MaxLogFileSizeKB=51200
to specific products, such as 51216 (NetBackup).
To set the RolloverMode to Periodic The -o <OriginatorID> is optional. This should be used to limit the deleting of
logs to specific originators, such as 116 (nbpem).
vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o Default -s RolloverMode=Periodic -s
The -e <enddate> is optional. This will delete any log files created before the
RolloverPeriodInSeconds=43200
date specified. The format for the date is 'MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss AM|PM'
