WAAS Directories on a WAE
Table 1-4 describes the directories that contain information that is useful for troubleshooting or
monitoring.
Note The WAAS software uses the CONTENT file system for both the Wide Area File Services (WAFS) file
system and the data redundancy elimination (DRE) cache.
Table 1-4 WAAS Directory Descriptions
Directory/File Name Contents
actona This directory contains the current software image installed on the WAAS
device and any previous images that were installed.
logs This directory contains application-specific logs used in troubleshooting.
The actona subdirectory contains the commonly used Manager.log,
Utilities.log, and Watchdog.log log files. See the Cisco Wide Area
Application Services Configuration Guide for more details about how these
log files are used.
syslog.txt This file is the central repository for log messages. Important messages
about the operation of WAAS or its components are sometimes logged in this
file. They are often intermingled with routine messages that require no
action. You may be requested to provide this file, the output of the show
tech-support EXEC command, and perhaps other output to Cisco TAC
personnel if a problem arises.
