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

Prerequisites

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.

Steps
 

Choose Administration→NE Maintenance→File Retrieval from the NFM-P main menu. The File Retrieval form opens.


Select the log retrieval policy configured for the device and click Properties.


Confirm the parameters in the SFTP Settings panel. For log file retrieval from CoreEvo nodes, the host key fingerprint must be ECDSA.


Click on the File Retrieval Status tab. The Wavence devices that are managed by NFM-P are listed.


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.
