View Configuration Log Files

When a configuration file is applied to a physical node, the node returns response messages that are recorded in a log file. These log files are useful for identifying any errors if the configuration fails. The log file is a text field that contains the list of CLI commands applied in during the configuration and the results.

The log file for a configuration file applied to a node has the following format:

   <config-filename>_<device-ip>_<date>_<time>.txt

For example, if the configuration log file is named GseriesConfig__10.10.10.10_20160621_203610.txt, the filename is interpreted as follows:

■

Configuration filename: GseriesConfig.txt

■

Applied to device IP: 10.10.10.10

■

Date Applied: 20160521 (May 21, 2016)

■

Time applied (FM server time): 203610
