Submitting a request for harvesting log files

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

Use this feature to submit a log harvesting request to one or more products running on the same or different servers. After the request is successfully processed, the system on which the products are installed returns the harvested log files specified in the request. When you select a profile and click Request, the system generates a single request for all the requests contained in the profile.

Procedure

  1. On the System Manager web console, click Services > Events > Logs > Log Harvester.
  2. On the Log Harvester page, select a log harvesting profile, and click Requests.
  3. On the Harvest Archives page, type the relevant information in the Archive Name and Archive Description fields.

    The system saves the harvested log files in the specified archive file.

  4. Click Run Profile to send a request.

    The table in the Harvest Criteria View section provides you the log harvesting request status. If the execution status of the request is successful, the system creates a zip file containing the harvested log files and saves the file in the specified location.
