Log location on VBR

[hadus]

Is there any way to change the location of logs gathered on VBR during "Log Analysis session"?

From what we have gathered, this process starts at 07:00 in the morning and gathers a lot of log files from repository servers. Maybe others also, we just noticed the repository server. During this process, approximately 130GB logs are gathered and has a tendency to trigger low space warnings from the VBR servers system drive.

As of now, the process occupies space in:
c:\users\<username>\appdata\local\temp\VID\57\VeeamSupportlogs\2024-05-07-xxxxxxxx

Granted, the process cleans up and remove the files when it is done. But we would rather not have it on system drive to begin with.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi Martin,

Sure, set the following registry value on the Veeam Backup and Replication Server:

Name: LogAnalyzerTempFolder
Type: REG_SZ
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam ONE Monitor\VID\

Set the value to a desired path on the VBR server itself, be sure to add a trailing slash "\" at the end.

Correct: C:\temp\logs\
Incorrect: C:\temp\logs

Thanks david.domask, I'll try that asap.

Update: the path and keys do not exist at this time
Im guessing I can go ahead and add the keys manually?

Hi Martin,

Yep, just create the keys + value, and then should be fine No need for service restarts as far as I'm aware, just give it a little time (15 minutes is safe bet) and it should be good to go, you can test with a manual analysis and check that the correct temp folder is used.

Works like a charm!
Log files now go exactly where we want them. Thank you.
