10.7.2 Importing operation logs from selected computers

To import operation logs for a long range or from many computers, you can select the computers from which to import operation logs. You can also import JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 operation logs.

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 operation logs from selected computers:

  1. Display the Security module.

  2. In the menu area, select Operation Logs, and then Operation Log List.

  3. From Action, select Manually acquire the stored operation logs.

    Important

    If there is no operation log backup file, you cannot perform this operation.

  4. In Range of manual acquisition of the dialog box, specify the range of operation logs to be imported.

  5. In Computers from which to manually acquire operation logs, select Acquire operation logs from selected computers., and then click the Change button.

  6. In the dialog box that appears, select the computers from which you want to import operation logs, and then click the Make Related button.

    If you select the Show only related items check box, only the computers selected for import are displayed in the list. To exclude a selected computer from the import target, select the computer, and then click the Exclude button.

  7. Click the OK button.

    The Manual Acquisition of Stored Operation Logs dialog box is redisplayed.

  8. Click the OK button.

The operation logs for the specified range are imported from the target computers.

Important

Depending on the environment, import of operation logs for three months from 200 computers might require 2 hours or more. To reduce the import time, specify a shorter range for manual acquisition.

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 also export operation logs by using the ioutils exportoplog command. We recommend that you export operation logs if you want to use them for other reference.
