Symantec Activity Monitor Log File

[mrtba]

Good morning everyone,

Does anybody know where Netbackup 6.5.4 keeps the acitity monitor logs?  The reason I want to know this is so I don't have to manual fill these spreadsheets everyday.  If I could import the file that would be great!  I have heard of netbackup operations manager but I don't have another machine to load that on, and I don't want to slow my backups down.



Thanks in advance.

It was posted several days ago, and is very similar to your question

There are no logs. The data is kept in a database under netbackup/db/jobs.
It is unreadable with normal desktop apps.
You can customise the GUI view to display all the columns you want and then simply save it to a text file , which can be imported into Excel.

You can also try bpdbjob (as is) or with -most_columns, but you cannot choose which columns.
I find the Activity Monitor export feature the easiest.
