Logging for HA Nodes

The EFT cluster administrator has access to the EFT logs from the shared drive and doesn't have to navigate to the nodes to view them.

On the Server > Logs tab, you can specify a shared log location and prefix the log filename with a node ID. However, if you upgrade an HA environment from EFT version 7.4.x or earlier, the Log File Settings path is not updated; it keeps the old path where the cluster administrator had to navigate to the different nodes to view the log files. Instead, you can manually provide the shared configuration path with the server node name. (for example, \\ipaddress\share\log\%SERVER.NODE_NAME%\). Once you've changed the Log File Settings path, a folder for each node should appear in the shared path, and new log files will be saved there.

Log files are not backed up in the Backup and Cleanup Rule, because that is intended as a configuration backup. Once you've changed the Log File Settings path, you can create your own Event Rule to back up log files.
