10.9 Importing old operation logs into a management server
If the operation logs for a file to be traced have already been removed, you can import old operation logs from an operation log backup.
- Important note
-
If the operation logs for the relevant period have been deleted from the backup folder, you cannot import them.
- Tip
-
To import old operation logs, in the Automatic Backup Settings for Operation Logs view in setup, specify a location in which to store the operation logs. Note that the amount of operation log data that can be imported is determined according to Required capacity in the Operation Log Settings view in setup. If you want to import operation logs for a longer period, specify the longer period in Maximum restore period for operation logs.
To import old operation logs:
-
Display the Security module.
-
In the menu area, select Operation Logs and then Operation Log List.
-
From Action, select Restore Archived Logs.
- Important note
-
If there is no operation log backup file, you cannot perform this operation.
-
In the displayed dialog box, specify the period for which operation logs are to be imported, and then click OK.
Operation logs are imported and the import status is displayed.
-
Click the Close button.
The operation logs for the specified period are imported. If the specified period includes a period that was specified for data already imported in the past, the operation logs for the period that does not include the previously specified period are imported.
- Tip
-
If you cannot specify a period of a sufficient length for operation logs to be imported because of the amount of data previously imported, delete the operation logs for the unnecessary period. From Action, select Remove Restored Logs, delete the operation logs for the unnecessary period, and then import operation logs.
- Tip
-
You can export operation logs by using the ioutils exportoplog command. We recommend that you export operation logs if you want to use them in other materials.
