Setting Up the Zerto Log Archiver

The Zerto Log Archiver is set up using an XML-based configuration file.

To configure the Zerto Log Archiver:

1. Copy the following XML to an editor.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LogArchiveConfiguration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

  <ArchivePath>D:\ZertoLogs</ArchivePath>

  <ArchiveSpanInDays>7</ArchiveSpanInDays>

</LogArchiveConfiguration>

2. Edit the ArchivePath and ArchiveSpanInDays values:

ArchivePath: The path in the Zerto Virtual Manager machine where the log archives are saved.

ArchiveSpanInDays: The number of days the log archives are saved.

3. Save the XML with the name log_archive_config.xml to the folder where Zerto is installed. The default location is C:\Program Files\Zerto\Zerto Virtual Replication.
4. Restart the Zerto Virtual Manager Windows service to start log archiving.
5. Repeat this procedure for every Zerto Virtual Manager in the environment for which you want to archive the logs.
