Downloading ES Log Files

Introduction

This topic describes how to download an ES log file from the agent to a local workstation. 

Saved log files 

When you download a log file, Enterprise Scanner first creates a backup file to download. 

Enterprise Scanner saves the file with the standard name for the log file, but it appends 

the current time and date stamp, as in the following example:

Crm.Trace.log.20060324141336.bak

This file remains on your agent after you download it. You should delete these backup 

files when you no longer need them.
