Data Flow Probe Log Files

Data Flow Probe logs store information about job activation that occurs on the Probe Gateway and Probe Manager. The log files can be accessed from the following location:

C:\UCMDB\DataFlowProbe\runtime\log

Note Alternatively, to access the Data Flow Probe's log files, log in to the JMX console (https://localhost:8453) and, from the main page, select the GeneralUtils mbean. Activating the executeLogGrabber function zips all the Data Flow Probe's log files. Save the .zip file locally on your client machine.
