Embodiments for automatic log collection of an automated data storage library by a processor. A snapshot of one or more error logs, service logs, accessor logs, and data logs is captured in the automated data storage library upon detection of an occurrence of a triggering event within the automated data storage library. The snapshot of the one or more logs in the automated data storage library is stored.

Automatic log collection for an automated data storage library

Embodiments for trigger event detection for automatic log collection in an automated data storage library by a processor. A triggering event associated with the automated data storage library may be detected using firmware of the automated data storage library such that the triggering event is one from a group that includes a drive or library reset, a component action, and a service action. A snapshot of one or more logs associated with the automated data storage library may be captured upon detection of the triggering event, wherein the one or more logs include at least one of diagnostic information, statistical information, configuration information, backup information, database information, or a combination thereof. The snapshot of the one or more logs by the automated data storage library may be stored.

Trigger event detection for automatic log collection in an automated data storage library

Embodiments for selecting log snapshots for export in an automated data storage library by a processor. One or more log snapshots of an automated data storage library of an event displayed on a user interface of a device may be selected for exporting according to user defined criteria such that the one or more snapshots relate to the event or trigger, wherein the user interface provides an events table for searching and locating the event.

Selecting log snapshots for export in an automated data storage library

Embodiments for storing log snapshots in an automated data storage library by a processor. A log snapshot is saved on a node associated with the automated data storage library for subsequent retrieval such that each of a plurality of saved log snapshots saved from a plurality of nodes associated with the automated data storage library are aggregated for exporting to a user.

Storing log snapshots in an automated data storage library

Embodiments for automated data storage library snapshot for host detected errors by a processor. A host related trigger associated with a host of an automated data storage library may be detected. The host related triggering event may be unrecognized or undetected as a library error by the automated data storage library. A snapshot of one or more logs in the automated data storage library may be captured upon detection of the host related triggering event. The snapshot of the one or more logs may be stored by the automated data storage library.

Automated data storage library snapshot for host detected errors

Embodiments for automatic log collection of an automated data storage library by a processor. An occurrence of a triggering event associated with an automated data storage library is detected. The triggering event may include at least detecting an opening of one or more doors of the automated data storage library. A snapshot of one or more logs is captured in the automated data storage library upon detection of the triggering event. The snapshot of the one or more logs in the automated data storage library is stored.
