Enterprise Workloads Editions: File:/tick.png Business File:/cross.png Enterprise File:/tick.png Elite

 

This topic contains information about the NAS proxy configuration details, metadata, and log files for NAS devices and NAS shares.

NAS proxy log files

The NAS proxy log files contain details of backups that the NAS proxy performs. Every backup generates a new log file in the following format.

Log file format: Phoenix-<time stamp>-<job ID>.log
Example: Phoenix-20170921-152700-181.log

If the NAS proxy does not function as expected, you can share these log files with the Druva Support team.

Note: Druva retains logs for the last 32 NAS proxy activities on each NAS share.

You can set the threshold value by using the OLDER_LOGS_DELETION_AGE parameter in the configuration file to delete older job logs, thereby saving space on the NAS proxy. The default value is 180 days. The minimum allowed value is 1.
