Fetching Current Log Data
The active Log File (fw.log) cannot be fetched. If you want to fetch the most recent log data, proceed as follows:
fw lslogs to see the newly-generated file name.fw fetchlogs -f filename to transfer the file to the machine on which the fw fetchlogs command is executed. The file is now available for viewing in the SmartView Tracker.After a file has been fetched, it is renamed. The gateway name and the original Log File name are concatenated to create a new file name. The new file name consists of the gateway name and the original file name separated by two (underscore) _ _ characters.
Example The following command:
> fw fetchlogs -f 2001-12-31_123414.log module3
fetches the Log File 2001-12-31_123414.log from Module3.
After the file has been fetched, the Log File is renamed:
module3_ _2001-12-31_123414.log
