General

Every DSM component (application) writes a log file when being executed. This log file documents all executed actions, thus providing important information about the DSM Client.

The DSM applications can be divided into main instances (e.g. NiAgnt32, NiInst32) and auxiliary instances (e.g. ClientStateManager, LocationCheck).
When started, every instance creates its own new log file, for example, the AutoInstaller creates the log file NIAI32_001.LOG. Ivanti DSM maintains a maximum of 16 log files per main instance and a maximum of 6 log files for auxiliary instances.

The maximum number of all log files is independent of the storage size entered in the configuration.

Storing a log file

By default, the log files are stored in the following directory:
%CommonProgramFiles%\enteo\NiLogs. In this path, some log files are stored in subdirectories. These directories are named after the corresponding component / extension. If a user does not have write permissions for this path, the log files are written to the TEMP directory.
