To retrieve log files stored by Wavence devices using the NFM-P

The log retrieval requires the node to be MSS-4/8 release Wavence 19 or later and SNMP mode set as SnmpV2, SnmpV3, Snmpv3_SEC.

Before you can retrieve files from a Wavence device, a File Retrieval Policy must be configured for the device. See To assign a file retrieval policy to a Wavence device in the NFM-P for information about assigning a policy, and To create or modify a file retrieval policy in the NFM-P for information about configuring a policy.

Note: Do not perform a file retrieval while a WebCT password reset is in progress.

Wavence Nodes with SNMP mode as Snmpv3_SEC are displayed as SnmpV3.


1	Choose Administration→NE Maintenance→File Retrieval from the NFM-P main menu. The File Retrieval form opens.
2	Select the log retrieval policy configured for the device and click Properties.
3	Confirm the parameters in the SFTP Settings panel. For log file retrieval from CoreEvo nodes, the host key fingerprint must be ECDSA.
4	Click on the File Retrieval Status tab. The Wavence devices that are managed by NFM-P are listed.
5	Choose a device and click Retrieve Logs. The Log Retrieval State column displays the status of log retrieval. The log files are copied from the SFTP server to the NFM-P server. Retrieved logs are displayed in the Logs tab. Note: Log files are stored on the NFM-P in /opt/nsp/nfmp/nelogs/Wavence/. Folders are created for each nodeID from which files were retrieved, containing Audit, UAL, and SNMP folders where the respective log files are stored. End of steps
