Abstract
A log collection utility (LCU) operable in a storage area network (SAN) to identify the various types of log files generated in the SAN, compute the location of each of the log files, and collect the log files for consolidation and analysis in a common repository. A designator file enumerates log files for collection. The LCU generates a discovery script for each host, and the hosts generate an identity of each of the log files via execution of the discovery script. The LCU generates a collection script operable to gather the each of the log files. The LCU thus gathers a plurality of log files generated by dissimilar applications and nodes in the SAN via a declarative mechanism that specifies the types of log files via a log file designator, and generates executable scripts that collects the log files in a manner that is agnostic to operating systems, platforms, and directory structures.
