Monitoring SnapCenter logs

You can view and download SnapCenter server logs, SnapCenter host agent logs, and plug-in logs. You might want to view logs to help with troubleshooting.

You can also obtain job level logs: for example, logs that help you troubleshoot the reason for a backup job failure. For job level logs, use the Monitor > Jobs option.

For information on the SnapCenter VMware vSphere web client logs, see the SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere documentation.
