Where is the Dell EMC Repository Manager

runtime log located?

DRM creates the log file at runtime in the following location:

• Windows: C:\ProgramData\Dell\drm\drmservice-o.log

• Linux: /var/dell/drm/log/drmservice-o.log

You can save or email the logs through Save and Mail Logs option in the Dell EMC drop-down menu.

Can DRM be run through a Proxy Server?

Yes, install DRM inside the firewall and connect to a catalog located outside the firewall (downloads.dell.com or a local repository) through

a proxy server. You can use the proxy server settings of Internet Explorer. If the proxy settings for Internet Explorer are not working, the

proxy can be set in DRM. You can then use Dell Repository Manager to customize the catalog as per the requirement and store the

customized catalog inside the firewall. For more information about setting proxy, see

Configuring Network Settings.

NOTE:

If proxy server credentials are changed, ensure that you change the proxy credentials in DRM as well.
