How to use FTP or SCP to retrieve log files

An Administrator or Device User can use FTP or SCP to retrieve a tab-delineated Event Log file (event.txt) or

Data Log file (data.txt) and import it into a spreadsheet. Both reside on the NMC.

• The file reports all events or data recorded since the log was last deleted or, in the case of the Data Log,

truncated because it reached maximum size.

• The file includes information that the Event Log or Data Log does not display.

– The version of the file format (first field)

– The date and time the file was retrieved

–The Name, Contact, and Location values and IP address of the

NMC

– The unique Event Code for each recorded event (event.txt file only)

–The

NMC uses a four-digit year for log entries. You may need to select a four-digit date format in

your spreadsheet application to display all four digits.

If you are using the encryption-based security protocols, see “To use SCP to retrieve the files”. If

you are using unencrypted authentication methods for security, see “To use FTP to retrieve the

files”.

See the Security Handbook, available on the Network Management Card Utility CD and on the

website (www.apc.com) for information on available protocols and methods for setting up the type

of security you need.

To use SCP to retrieve the files. Enable SSH on the NMC, see “Console access”.

To retrieve the event.txt file, use the following command:

scp <username@hostname> or <ip_address>:event.txt./event.txt
