Activities and events from Cloud Discovery & Visibility (CDV) are logged in log files. These logs include errors and failures, but can also include successful and unsuccessful connections, starting and stopping of visibility and discovery, and more.
By default, CDV logs events at the WARNING level. This includes logs of warnings, errors, and critical events, but not debug or informational events.
In Cloud Discovery & Visibility v26.1, all CDV logs are written to Address Manager's syslog file. For information on configuring the syslog service on Address Manager, refer to Configuring syslog on Address Manager. For information on downloading Address Manager log files, refer to Downloading log files.
- In the Address Manager sidebar, select CD&V.
- Select the Settings tab
- On the Log level panel, select Edit.
- In the Minimum severity field, select the minimum logging level from
the drop-down menu.
You can choose from all standard Python logging levels (NOTSET, DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, or CRITICAL). Events at the selected level and higher are recorded. This log level applies to new events only.
Note: NOTSET is a default Python logging level used by some Python-based tools. For CDV logging, NOTSET is equivalent to WARNING. We recommend you use WARNING instead of NOTSET if possible.Warning: This setting is not a filter. After you change the logging level, any messages that would have been logged with a higher level will not be logged at all. - Select Save.
