Log Collection Script

Purpose

The different systems in an Appian installation generate a variety of log files. These log files are also periodically rotated. The log collection tool provides a simple way to collect the standard selection of log files Appian Technical Support has found useful for debugging purposes and compress them into a single archive. By default, the log collection tool will only collect those files which do not potentially contain business data (such as rule, function, and data store names). The script also provides an option to collect additional log files which may contain this business data.

Location

<APPIAN_HOME>/_admin/_scripts/tools/log-collection.sh (.bat)

Options

-q	--quiet	No	Suppress script output, including acquiescence to full log collection if selected
