Exporting a virtual machine data logging key
For a virtual machine to be authenticated with the DSView 3 SSH server, the virtual machine’s
unique certificate key must be submitted with the request.
To export a virtual machine data logging key:
1. In the DSView 3 software, click the Units tab, then click Virtualization in the side
navigation bar.
2. Click the arrow next to the hypervisor manager or server to display hosted virtual
machines.

Click Virtual Machine in the side navigation bar to display all virtual machines.
3. Click on the name of the virtual machine you want to access. The Unit Overview window
opens.
4. Click VM Properties (Virtual), then click the Summary tab.
5. Click Export Data Logging Key.
6. If the key exports successfully, a message with the path and name of the exported key is
displayed.
• The name of the file containing the key is id_rsa_[VMName].
• The location of the exported key is the logged in user’s temporary directory on the
server where the DSView 3 software is installed.
For example, if the DSView 3 server is installed on a Windows server and the
name of the virtual machine is myVM, then the file location and name is
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\id_rsa_myVM, where [username] is the
user login used by the DSView 3 server.
