Knowing about log export script
Describes about log export example script.
The log export script below will run on the Python 3 framework. Admins must install/use Python 3 for the script to work.
Note:
When running the script, you must run the command individually for each log page you are trying to export. The script will error out if you try to export 2 or more of the logs at the same time with a single command entry. This means you must run the command separately for each of the logs you can access:
- access
- cloudsummary
- cloudaudit
- admin
- swgweb
- swgwebdlp
You can download sample log script from Download link.
Setup
- Create a new folder and copy the script to that folder.
- Logs will be saved in the logs sub-folder with nested year, month, date folders.
- Script can be started and stopped any time and will resume from the last saved state (-d starts a new collection from the specified date).
- Script execution logs are saved in log_cloudapilogs.log. Check the log to ensure logs are being collected.
