pulling log files off nokia IP330

[dooby12]

what is the best way to pull the log files of a Nokia IP330? i would like to take these log files of thebox and put somewhere on out network, where they can be backed up.

setup a automated logswitch and ftp them off. I believe Nokia's knowledge base has some scripts listed. Also I got the scripts I used from access2networks.com go to the downloads section, download cleanup.zip.

thanks rn4it, i had a look on access2networks.com but the link to download cleanup.zip seems dead. you know anywhere else i can get this from. also do you have a link to the nokia knowledgebase for this topic, ive tried with no luck.

That's odd, nokia support link is support.nokia.com, if you can't get the scripts, I'll upload them a little later today.

Here's the scripts you'll need you can use a cron job to schedule them. I have attached a cleanup which will delete the logfiles a day after they have been switch(ie. you would have todays and yesterdays logfiles, but any prior would be deleted. Make sure the ftp process is working before you schedule the cleanup.

NP, I'll be on vacation starting tomorrow, gone for a week, so I might not be able to respond, but you shouldn't run into any problems. Those our scripts that I used in production, I just removed IP's addresses, user ID's and passwords. Just keep them as separate scripts. Anyone who know's *nix scripting and vi should be able to help you.
