Extract Eventlog From VCS

[Justin Ferello]

Hey all,

What is the procedure to extract the entire eventlog from a VCS?  I would imagine it is stored in a file and that we could get it via WinSCP or via the CLI using 'root'?

Thanks,

Justin

The eventlog is stored in /mnt/harddisk/log/messages.

Once the messages files reaches 10 MB or so, it is rotated and renamed messages.1 and a new messages file is spawned.

As far as I recall, we keep a total of 200 messages files in the rotation, and you can download these using your SCP client of choice (remember to log in as root rather than admin).

Hope this helps,

Andreas
