All logs will be found in below path.
<DCF-Install>/Collecting/Collector-Manager/<SP-Instance>/logs/collecting-0-0.log
Latest processing log name will have "-0-0" appended to its name like above.
To enable logging, change the collecting configuration to push metrics/topology data to file connector like below. And after changing the configuration, operator need to restart the service to see the logging info in collecting-0-0.log.
Edit below file as specified below.:
File :
<DCF-Install>/Collecting/Collector-Manager/<SP-Instance>/conf/collecting.xml
--- <connector enabled="true" name="File" type="File-Connector" config="conf/file-connector.xml" /> ---
Example: "vrops-alerts" is installed management pack name in below example.
To check the status of the installed services:
<DCF-Install>/bin/manage-modules.sh service status all …. * Checking collector-manager vrops-alerts'... [ running ]
To restart the specific service:
<DCF-Install>/bin/manage-modules.sh service restart collector-manager vrops-alerts * Stopping collector-manager vrops-alerts'... [ OK ] * Starting collector-manager vrops-alerts'... [ OK ]
