10.7.1 Importing old operation logs into a management server
If operation logs no longer exist in the operation log database, you can import old operation logs from an operation log backup.
- Important
-
You cannot import operation logs (for the relevant range) that have been deleted from the operation log backup folder.
- Tip
-
To import old operation logs, in the Operation Log Settings 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. To import operation logs for a longer range, increase the value in Maximum number of days for which the operation logs are to be stored in the database. Alternatively, in the Settings module, in the Operation Log Settings view, reduce the value in Period for storing automatically restored 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 Manually acquire the stored operation logs.
- Important
-
If there is no operation log backup file, you cannot perform this operation.
-
In the dialog box that appears, specify the range of operation logs to be imported, and then click the OK button.
Operation logs are imported and the import status is displayed.
-
Click the Close button.
The operation logs for the specified range are imported.
In the Manually acquire the stored operation logs dialog box, you can specify the computers from which you want to import operation logs. Import of a long range of operation logs or from many computers might require a long time due to the large amounts of data. We recommend that you specify target computers to narrow down operation logs to be imported. For details about how to specify computers from which to import operation logs, see 10.7.2 Importing operation logs from selected computers.
- Tip
-
If you cannot specify a sufficient range of operation logs to be imported because too much data was previously imported, from Action, select Delete the manually-acquired operation logs, and then delete operation logs for the unnecessary range. Note that the deleted operation log is actually deleted at the same timing as that of Delete operation log database execution (1:00 every day by default).
- 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.
