EqlLog Utility
The Host Integration Tools kit includes a debug trace logging utility, EqlLog, that collects HIT trace logs, VSS logs, VDS logs, cluster logs,
install logs, event logs, Setup API logs, backup documents, and MSInfo output.
EqlLog Utility Overview
If you have an issue with the Host Integration Tools kit that requires customer support, you will be asked to run the this utility, which
gathers all of the logging information into a zip file in the My Documents folder. You can then send this file to customer support for
debugging.
If you are managing multiple hosts from an instance of ASM/ME (also known as a HIT Group), this log collector can gather logs from
those other hosts as well. Specify the -o or --hosts option when you run the utility.
The EqlLog utility can also be run from ASM/ME. Click the Collect Logs button at the top right of the ASM/ME console.
Run the EqlLog Utility
The EqlLog utility is located under the default installation folder, or the folder that you specified for HIT during installation. The default
folder is C:\Program Files\EqualLogic\bin.
NOTE: You must be logged in to the host as an administrator to run this utility.
1. From the Start menu, right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
2. In the command window, change the directory to C:\Program Files\EqualLogic\bin.
3. Enter eqllog. The utility will gather trace logs and system information, and place them in a time-stamped zip file, located in the My
Documents folder.
EqlLog Command Line Options
The EqlLog utility has several command-line options (listed in the table below), which you can use to change its behavior.
