When troubleshooting, you can use a text editor or browser to review the EVM log file. The log file is the primary source of troubleshooting information.
Log File Content
The log file contains time-stamped events and error messages. Typical content includes:
EVM version number
EVM Server name
Last reboot date
Presence of HS-Series Agent
Replication events, such as adding mirrors, normalizing, splitting
EVM job script events, including significant events within the EVM jobs
Error messages
Locating Log Files
Log files are located on the EVM Server. The default directory is:
/opt/CPQevm/log
Identifying Log Files
EVM log files are numbered. The file name format is:
evmn.log
When troubleshooting, note that the numbering of log files is not necessarily sequential.
Managing Log Files
Unless actively managed, the number of log files increases over time. The key factors to note are:
A new log file is created each time the EVM program is started.
Old log files are not automatically deleted.
