How to gather an Data Ingestor (HDI) Data Collection

The procedure for gathering logs for an HDI system depends on the HDI deployment: Single-node, cluster, or HDI-VM. Also, the procedure is different for older HDI deployments. Click on the link for the appropriate procedure.

  1. Single Node, HDI-VM or HDI-RS
  2. Cluster
  3. Older Systems (HDI 2.7/FOS 3.0)

The procedure to gather an Alllogs collection for HDI systems can differ between HDI versions. The following instructions should work with HDI/FOS 4.x, except where indicated for older versions. Refer to the Administration Guide, User Guide or Troubleshooting Guide for the version and type of deployment installed and search for "download all log" if the procedures below aren't applicable.

Data Ingestor (HDI) Single Node, HDI-VM or HDI-RS Data Collection

    When the progress reaches 100%, download is complete. A button on the bottom-right corner is changed to [OK]. Click [OK], and close the window.
  5. Make sure that a file named "Alllogdata_<serial number> _<date and time>.tar.gz" is created in the destination to save specified in the above step 4.
  6. Upload data to TUF.

    Note: If you selected a PSB log group, before the download dialog box appears, another dialog box asking you whether to perform batch downloading appears.
  5. In the Web browser download dialog box specify where to download the file. The log files that belong to the selected log group are archived by tar and compressed by gzip, and downloaded to the specified destination.
  6. Click Close in the download dialog box. 
    When you perform batch downloading, some data might be missed if the disk selected to store the Temporary Internet files folder for Internet Explorer has insufficient space. In this situation, Internet Explorer does not generate an error or message. 
    Repeat steps 2-6 for the other node in the cluster.
  7. Upload data to TUF.
