collect-log-files(1)      asadmin Utility Subcommands     collect-log-files(1)

NAME
       collect-log-files - creates a ZIP archive of all available log files

SYNOPSIS
           collect-log-files [--help] [--target target]
           [--retrieve={false|true}] [retrievefilepath]]

DESCRIPTION
       The collect-log-files subcommand collects all available log files for
       the domain administration server (DAS), the specified cluster, or the
       specified GlassFish Server instance and creates a single ZIP archive of
       the log files. If a cluster is specified, the ZIP archive also contains
       the log file for the DAS.

       This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

OPTIONS
       --help, -?
           Displays the help text for the subcommand.

       --retrieve
           Specifies whether the ZIP archive is created in a directory other
           than the default directory.

           By default the ZIP archive is created in the
           domain-dir/collected-logs directory. The ZIP file names are
           constructed from the specified target and timestamp, as follows:

               log_yyyy-mm-dd_hh-min-sec.zip
           Possible values are as follows:

           false
               The ZIP archive will be created in the default directory. If
               omitted, the --retrieve option defaults to false.

           true
               The ZIP archive will be created in the directory that the
               retrievefilepath operand specifies. If retrievefilepath is
               omitted, the ZIP archive will be created in the default
               directory.

       --target
           Specifies the target for which log files will be collected.

           Possible values are as follows:

           server
               The log files will be collected for the DAS (default).

           instance-name
               The log files will be collected for the specified GlassFish
               Server instance.

           cluster-name
               The log files will be collected for the specified cluster and
               the DAS.

OPERANDS
       retrievefilepath
           The name of the directory in which the ZIP archive will be created.
           If this operand is omitted, the ZIP archive will be created in the
           default directory. If the --retrieve option is false, this operand
           is ignored.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1, Collecting Log Files for the Default Server
           This example generates a ZIP archive from the log files for the
           default server.

               asadmin> collect-log-files
               Created Zip file under /space/gfv3/v3setup/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/\
               collected-logs/log_2010-12-15_15-46-23.zip.
               Command collect-log-files executed successfully.

       Example 2, Collecting Log Files for a Cluster
           This example generates a ZIP archive from the log files for a
           cluster named cluster1 and the two server instances running in the
           cluster.

               asadmin> collect-log-files --target cluster1
               Log files are downloaded for instance1.
               Log files are downloaded for instance2.
               Created Zip file under /space/gfv3/v3setup/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/\
               collected-logs/log_2010-12-15_15-54-06.zip.
               Command collect-log-files executed successfully.

       Example 3, Collecting Log Files in a Directory Other Than the Default
       for a Cluster
           This example generates a ZIP archive from the log files for a
           cluster named cluster1 and its two server instances, and saves the
           archive in a directory named /space/output.

               asadmin> collect-log-files --target cluster1 --retrieve true /space/output
               Log files are downloaded for instance1.
               Log files are downloaded for instance2.
               Created Zip file under /space/output/log_2010-12-15_15-55-54.zip.
               Command collect-log-files executed successfully.
