The Log Harvester service manages the retrieval, archival, and analysis of harvested log files stored in hosts or elements on which Serviceability Agent is enabled. The Serviceability Agent harvests the logs and sends the harvested logs to the Logging service through HTTPS. The logging service does the following:
Identifies a successful harvest request related to a harvest profile.
Accepts the file segments.
Creates a well-defined file structure, and saves the request in the System Manager node.
You can harvest log files for one or more products of the same or different types running on the same or different computers. The system displays the list of file archives and respective profiles on the log harvesting user interface, and the status of each archive is available in the user interface table.
