Log files

Each time the Client Deploy Tool starts, a log file is created.

Client Deploy Tool log files

The log file is named BESClientDeployTool.log and it is located in the following directories:
Linux systems
In the /var/opt/BESClientDeployTool directory.
Windows systems
In the Client Deploy Tool installation directory.

You cannot disable the log file nor customize its logging level.

The maximum size that the log file can reach is 50 MB. After reaching that level, the log file restarts.

Client log files (UNIX platforms only)

For each UNIX target computer, you have two files which log the stdout and the stderr activity on the remote machine, respectively.

The log files are named <client_ip_address>.out for the stdout output and <client_ip_address>.err for the stderr output.

You can find these files in the ClientLogs folder located in the following directories:
Linux systems
In the /var/opt/BESClientDeployTool directory.
Windows systems
In the Client Deploy Tool installation directory.

You cannot disable the log files nor customize their logging level.

The maximum size that the ClientLogs folder can reach is 100 MB. After reaching that level, the files stop logging.

Client log files (Windows platforms only)

For each Windows target computer, you have two log files. The log files are named <client_ip_address>_InstallerService.log and <client_ip_address>_ClientInstaller.log

The first file contains information provided by the installer service, while the second file contains the verbose log of the client installer.

You can find these files in the ClientLogs folder located in the following directories:
Linux systems
In the /var/opt/BESClientDeployTool directory.
Windows systems
In the Client Deploy Tool installation directory.
