It is possible to retrieve logs from an AFS component.
This can be useful for debugging. For instance, if you are facing issues with an AFS component, you can use Logs backup scenario to retrieve the logs related to this component and provide them to our Support.
Example
To back up the all AFS components debug logs, run the following command:
As root user
afs_backup_tool --log debug --action backup --data-config data-config-logs-only.yml --hosts-config hosts-config.yml
The log files are stored in the default backup directory defined in the hosts-config.yml file.
