Logs collected using the collectlogs command are encrypted

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

Condition

When data encryption is enabled on Avaya Aura® Device Services, log files that you collect using the collectlogs command are encrypted.

Cause

The collectlogs command only collects Avaya Aura® Device Services logs. If logs are encrypted, this command does not provide an option to decrypt logs. To collect and encrypt decrypted logs, you must use the collectAndDecryptLogs.sh script.

Solution

Procedure

The collectAndDecryptLogs.sh script allows you to collect all logs from a single node.

  1. As an administrator, log in to the CLI of the Avaya Aura® Device Services node from which you want to collect logs.
  2. Run the following commands:
    cdto misc
    sudo ./collectAndDecryptLogs.sh

    Avaya Aura® Device Services collects all logs from the node, decrypts them, and stores the decrypted logs in a TAR archive in the following directory:

    /opt/Avaya/DeviceServices/<AADS VERSION>/CAS/<AADS VERSION>/log-collection/collected-logs/

  3. Optional Download the archive with log files to your machine using a file transfer program, such as SFTP or SCP.
  4. If you need to collect logs from other nodes, repeat the steps above for the required nodes in the cluster.
