DUP Message Logs
Logging occurs when you run a command for a DUP. The logs maintain information about all update activities. DUPs write to the Messages
log. If you install the same package more than once on the same system, the log is appended. The messages les directory contain
messages about a wide range of events on the system. Therefore, you must scan through the log le to nd the messages that are relevant
to DUPs.
Message Location
The default location of the message log les is /var/log/dell/updatepackage/log.
Messages Log Files
The messages log le includes the following information
• Date and time the DUP was launched
• Package release ID number
• The full path and lename of the support log generated by the command
• DUP type
• DUP version
• Framework version of the DUP
• Software application name of the DUP
• Version of the currently installed DUP
• Version that the command is trying to apply to the system
• Exit code that results from execution of the command
• Whether a reboot was performed
NOTE
: The support log les are intended for use by Dell support personnel. Dell encourages you to redirect the DUP output to a
le of your choice.
