Download the UAG-log-archive.zip file from the Support Settings section in the Admin UI. This ZIP file contains all logs from your Unified Access Gateway appliance.

Set the Logging Level

You can configure log levels for the entire Unified Access Gateway appliance or only for specific Unified Access Gateway components such as the Horizon edge service (and sub-components), admin UI, and Web Reverse Proxy. The log levels that can be generated are ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, and TRACE.

A description of the type of information that the log levels collect follows.
Table 1. Logging Levels
Level Type of Information Collected
INFO The INFO level designates information messages that highlight the progress of the service.
ERROR The ERROR level designates error events that might still allow the service to continue running.
WARNING The WARNING level designates potentially harmful situations but are usually recoverable or can be ignored.
DEBUG Designates events that might generally be useful to debug problems, to view or manipulate the internal state of the appliance, and to test the deployment scenario in your environment.
TRACE Indicates information such as collection of Unified Access Gateway statistics, details of requests sent from Unified Access Gateway to backend servers and so on.
To configure these log level settings, see Configure Log Level Settings in Unified Access Gateway.

Collect Logs

Download the log ZIP files from the Support Settings section of the admin UI.

These log files are collected from the /opt/vmware/gateway/logs directory on the appliance.

The following tables contain descriptions of the various files included in the ZIP file.

hastats.csv Contains stats per node and total stats information for each back-end type (Edge Service Manager, VMware Tunnel, Content Gateway)
system_logs_archive Directory contains the following log files: cpu.info, mem.info, sysctl.log, and journalctl_archive.
cpu.info Contains CPU information of the virtual machine collected from /proc/cpuinfo.
mem.info Contains information about the virtual machine memory such as total memory available, free memory available, and so on collected from /proc/meminfo.
sysctl.log Contains information about all the kernel parameters of the virtual machine. sysctl -a
journalctl_archive Files contain journalctl log information that spans over 7 days until the time at which the archive is downloaded.

For example, if an admin downloads the Logs Archive from the Unified Access Gateway Admin UI at 9 A.M. today then the archive contains information for the past 7 days including until 9 A.M.

If the size of the logs collected is less than or equal to 25 MB, then only a single file, journalctl.log, is generated. If the size of the logs collected is more than 25 MB, then the journalctl_archive folder is created with multiple journalctl.log

files.
journalctl -x --since '1 week ago'
journald.conf Contains configuration information for the journalctl logs.
system-logs-collection-status.log Contains information that indicates whether the following log files are successfully collected: cpu.info, mem.info, sysctl.log, and journalctl_archive.
hosts Contains the /etc/hosts entries.
firstboot Contains information that is generated when the Unified Access Gateway is booted for the first time.
subsequentboot Contains information that is generated during subsequent reboots of Unified Access Gateway.
trustedCertificatesStore.log Contains information about the certificate processing status when a trusted certificate is uploaded on Unified Access Gateway.
vami-ovf.log Contains configuration-related information such as OVF properties, network, and so on of the Unified Access Gateway appliance during deployment.
