How to Use the Create Log Collection Screen   114 

Use the Create Log Collection Screen to create a log collection. A log collection is a 

specification that defines the log group(s) and time range you want to collect logs 
for. 

To open the Create Log Collection screen, from the Dashboard menu, select Cisco 
Web Tools > Log Collector > Create Log Collection. 

To create a log group: 

1.  Enter a name (up to 32 characters long) for the log collection. It's a good idea to 

choose an intuitive name that conveys the attributes of the log collection. 

2.  Specify a time range of logs to collect: All or Range. If you select Range, specify 

the start and end period time.  

3.  If desired, check Merged Log to create a single merged log file from the logs 

collected by this group. 
Note: When you later download a merged log, the collection will include the 
individual associated log files in addition to the merged log itself. 

4.  If desired, for ICM system logs only, check Include Binary Data. This causes the 

log file to include binary data such as memory allocation, buffer size, etc., but 
may also substantially increase file size.  

5.  Select one or more log groups to collect logs from. 

6.  Click the Start Log Collection button. The log collection process begins. The 

amount of time this process takes to complete depends on the number and size 
of the logs you requested. You can view collected logs or check the status of 

requests on the Log Collections screen. 
Note: It is not necessary to remain in-session while a log collection runs. Exiting 

your Dashboard session will not terminate a log collection. You can proceed to 
use other Dashboard while a Log Collection runs.
