Whenever the Vivinet Assessor application encounters a problem, the Scheduler logs the problem information to an error log file, assessor.log, at the Console. Similarly, whenever one of the endpoint programs encounters a problem it cannot report to the Console, it logs that problem to an error log file at the endpoint, endpoint.log, in the endpoint’s directory.
To view the Console error log, you can use the Log Viewer. To view any error log, you can use the command-line program named FMTLOG, which is installed in the root directory where you installed Vivinet Assessor. For more information, see Section 11.5, The Log Viewer.
The program FMTLOG reads from a binary log file, and writes its formatted output to stdout. Here is the syntax of the FMTLOG command:
FMTLOG log_filename >output_file
The FMTLOG program is installed by default in the \Program Files\Micro Focus\Vivinet Assessor folder and is also installed at the endpoints For more information, see the Performance Endpoints guide included in the Vivinet Assessor documentation set.
