Is it possible to read Operationnal data backup?

Hello,

I've made a backup of Operational data logs. I get a gpg file.

With a gpg command, i can extract the content. But I get some dmp files.

Are we suppposed to be able to read (human reading) these files like a syslog content ?

Thanks

The Operational backup is only intended to be used to restore that information on an ISE cluster. It is not intended to be used for any sort of historical log analysis. For that type of historical log analysis, you would need to use either the built-in ISE Reports or, if you need something more flexible/customisable, send this information to external syslog collector (like Splunk) and create custom queries on that platform.
