The Export Log task exports the controller log to a text file. The log gives detailed information on the controller activities and can be useful for troubleshooting.
On a Microsoft® Windows® system, the log file is exported to the windows or winnt directory. On a Linux system, the log file is exported to the /var/log directory.
Depending on the controller, the log file name will be either afa_<mmdd>.log or lsi_<mmdd>.log where <mmdd> is the month and date. For example, a log file exported on September 21 will be named either afa_0921.log or lsi_0921.log.
Exporting the controller log file clears the log file information from the controller log.
