Viewing and exporting Lifecycle Controller logs for a
collection
You can view the Lifecycle Controller logs for a collection in a readable format and save or export the
logs to a .CSV file in a Unified Naming Convention (UNC) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) share.
To view the Lifecycle Controller logs for a collection:
1. In Configuration Manager 2012 or Configuration Manager 2012 SP1, or Configuration Manager 2012
R2, under
Device Collections, right-click All Dell Lifecycle Controller Servers and select Dell
Lifecycle Controller
→ Launch Config Utility.
2. Select the View Lifecycle Controller Logs option.
The steps to view and export the log files for a collection are similar to viewing and exporting the log
files for a single system.
Follow step 2 to step 7 as given in Viewing Lifecycle Controller Logs.
The screen displays the latest 100 logs of each system in the collection by default. For example, if
there are 10 systems in the collection, the screen displays 1000 log files.
NOTE: The number in the Display drop-down list is always the total number for the collection.
For example, if there are 10 systems in the collection, the drop-down list displays 1000, 2500,
5000, and All.
