Logs for the jobs that the Data Integration Service runs are stored in a separate location from the domain, application service, and user activity logs. The Data Integration Service writes job log events to text files on the node where it runs.
The Data Integration Service and the Log Manager perform the following tasks to process job log events for the Data Integration Service:
When the Data Integration Service runs a job, it writes log events to text files on the node. The Data Integration Service sends information about the logs to the Log Manager.
The Log Manager stores log information in the Model repository database. The Model repository database stores information such as the path to the log file location, the node that contains the log, and the Data Integration Service that created the log.
When you view a job log on the Monitor tab of the Administrator tool, the Log Manager retrieves the information from the Model repository database. The Log Manager uses the information to determine the location of the logs.
The Log manager dispatches a Log Agent to retrieve the log events on each node to display the log.
