CDT Log Files

This section describes the log files the Central Deployment Tool generates, the format of the log messages, and the debug configuration.

Generated Log Files

Important - These log files can contain special characters.

To see these log files on Gaia OS, use the Linux "less" command.
To see these log files on Windows OS, use an advanced text editor, like Notepad++.

CDT saves its log files in this location on the Management Server:

/var/log/CPcdt/logs_<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>/

The primary CDT log file is:

/var/log/CPcdt/logs_<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>/Main_log.elg

CDT generates a log file for each Security Gateway and Cluster marked for installation:

/var/log/CPcdt/logs_<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>/<Name of Object>_log.elg

Note - Logs for a cluster contain information about all the Cluster Members.

After a package installation, the CDT copies all CPUSE installation logs from the remote Security Gateway and Cluster Members:

CDT copies all CPUSE installation logs from remote Security Gateways to:

/var/log/CPcdt/logs_<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>/<Name of Security Gateway Object>_CPUSE_Logs/

CDT copies all CPUSE installation logs from remote Cluster Members to:

/var/log/CPcdt/logs_<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>/<Name of Cluster Object>_CPUSE_Logs/<Name of Cluster Member Object>_CPUSE_Logs/

CDT generates RMA logs in this location on the remote Security Gateways:

/var/log/CPrma/

CDT copies these RMA logs from the /var/log/CPrma/ directory on the remote Security Gateways or Cluster Members to your Management Server:

List of Gaia Clish commands that were run to restore the Gaia Clish configuration on the Security Gateway or Cluster Member:

/var/log/CPcdt/logs_<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>/RmaLogs/<Name of Security Gateway or Cluster Member Object>_FinalClishCommand.elg

Outputs of the Gaia Clish commands that were run to restore the Gaia Clish configuration on the Security Gateway or Cluster Member:

/var/log/CPcdt/logs_<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>/RmaLogs/<Name of Security Gateway or Cluster Member Object>_FinalClishLog.elg

CDT copies these RMA logs from the /var/log/CPrma/ directory on the remote VSX Gateways or VSX Cluster Members to your Management Server:

List of Gaia Clish commands that were run to restore the Gaia Clish configuration on the VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster Member:

/var/log/CPcdt/logs_<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>/RmaLogs/<Name of VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster Member Object>_FinalClishCommand.elg

List of Gaia Clish commands that were run to restore the Gaia Clish configuration in the VSX context 0 (VS0):

/var/log/CPcdt/logs_<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>/RmaLogs/<Name of VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster Member Object>_VS0ClishCommand.elg

Outputs of the Gaia Clish commands that were run to restore the Gaia Clish configuration on the VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster Member:

/var/log/CPcdt/logs_<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>/RmaLogs/<Name of VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster Member Object>_FinalClishLog.elg

Outputs of the Gaia Clish commands that were run to restore the Gaia Clish configuration in the VSX context 0 (VS0):

/var/log/CPcdt/logs_<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>/RmaLogs/<Name of VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster Member Object>_VS0ClishLog.elg

CDT prints log messages on the screen in this format:

<TimeStamp> *<Log_Level>* [<Name_of_Object>]: <Log_Message>

CDT saves its log messages in the CDT log files in this format:

<TimeStamp> *<Log_Level>*: <Log_Message>

CDT sends its log messages to the Syslog server in this format:

<TimeStamp> CDT *<Log_Level>* [<Name_of_Object>]: <Log_Message>
