<Install_Home>\<Server_Name> directory.

For clients, log files (client.log.1 through client.log.5) are created in the <User_Home>

For servers, log files (server.log.1 through server.log.10) are created in the

<User_home>\jboss\server\dcm\log directory.

Fabric tracking

When you discover a new fabric and initial discovery is complete, fabric tracking is automatically

enabled. Subsequently, if a switch or end-device is added to or removed from the fabric, a plus (+)

or minus (-) icon displays (see table below) next to the product icon. Connections are also tracked.

A new connection displays a solid gray line with a added icon and missing connections display a

yellow dashed line with a removed icon.
