My ramblings on the stuff that holds it all together
Where are the vCAC log files
Posted by on April 10, 2014
I’ve had some SRs open with VMware GSS lately on some vCAC issues, and the first thing they usually ask for is logs – to save yourself (and GSS) some time it’s worth gathering up the following logs and providing them immediately when you open your SR (using the upload tool) – this helps GSS to hit the ground running with your issue
| Log description | Log File Name | Default Location |
| vCAC Installation log | MMDDYYHHMMSS.txt | c:\vcacLog |
| vCAC Server (everything) log | All.log | C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Server\Logs |
| vCAC Server (errors only) log | Error.log | C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Server\Logs |
| vCAC Agent logs | vSphereAgent.log (name based on Agent type) | C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Agents\<AgentName>\logs |
| vCAC DEM Orchestrator (everything) log | DEM Orchestrator Name_All.log | C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Distributed Execution Manager\<DEM-OrchestratorName>\Logs |
| vCAC DEM Orchestrator (errors only) log | DEM Orchestrator Name_Errors.log | C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Distributed Execution Manager\<DEM-OrchestratorName>\Logs |
| vCAC DEM Worker (everything) log | DEM Worker Name_All.log | C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Distributed Execution Manager\<DEM-WorkerName>\Logs |
| vCAC DEM Worker (errors only) log | DEM Worker Name_Errors.log | C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Distributed Execution Manager\<DEM-WorkerName>\Logs |
