Using the Zerto Log Archiver

Zerto creates log files containing information about both the Zerto Virtual Manager and VRAs.

These log files can be used to help resolve any issues that might arise.

The current log file is called logfile.csv and resides in the <Zerto_Install_Dir>\Zerto\logs folder, where Zerto_Install_Dir is the folder specified during installation.

When the log file reaches 10MB its name is changed to log.nnnn.csv, where nnnn is a number incremented by one each time the current log file logfile.csv reaches 10MB.

Up to 150 log files are kept, with a total size of 1GB.

You send the logs to Zerto support using the Zerto Diagnostics tool, described in the Zerto Virtual Manager Administration Guide for your environment.

If you need to save logs for longer, so that more than 1GB of log entries can be analyzed, you can use the Zerto Log Archiver. The Zerto Log Archiver enables creating an archive of logs for a specified period in an archive that is not overwritten by the normal log mechanism.
