Log File List

This list shows only the log files that are displayed in the NetInstall Monitor.
These log files contain basic information.

Apart from these basic log files, there are other log files where "supportive" processes are logged, for example the process start.
The log file ersupext_<nr>.log, for example, logs the start of the DSM Runtime Service, and the log file ersupextSvc_<nr>.log logs the actions of the DSM Runtime Service. The same name convention is valid for a number of processes.

The log files are arranged thematically:

  • DSMC and Consoles
  • Management Point
  • DSM Management Services
  • DSM Agent
  • Installer
  • Windows Installer
  • NetInstall Application Starter
  • Distribution and Staging
  • HEAT Integration
  • DSM tools
  • Setup of DSM
  • Operating system
