logutil

You can use the logutil program to manually capture log data. The logutil program logs the data to a specified log file. This can be used to troubleshoot issues on target systems where client or server tools have been installed.

The logutil program could be used for testing purposes on the Bravura Security Fabric server instead of the Logging Service. In this scenario, you would turn off the Logging Service and turn on logutil prior to executing specific actions to capture the log output for those actions.

Do not run logutil and Logging Service at the same time on the same server – they could interfere with each other.

If you terminate logutil by using Ctrl + C , Ctrl + Break or by closing the window, then the logging session is also terminated.

In addition to being available on the Bravura Security Fabric server, logutil can be copied to other servers to test client tools or the Password Change Notification Module. The 64-bit logutil program is located in the util directory, and the 32-bit version is located in <instance> \ util \ x86 \ . The program is installed with Bravura Privilege client software in:

<Program Files path\>Bravura Security\hipamlws\util\

The Logging Service is not required on client workstations.

Requirements

You must run the logutil command as an administrator with sufficient privileges.

Usage

logutil.exe [options] -instance <instance> | -cleanup [-instance <instance> ]

When logutil runs, a new registry entry is created to record the session. The entry is stored under:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bravura Security\Bravura Security Fabric\<instance>\LogSession

The name of the entry is the instance name. When you press [enter] to stop a session, the key will be gone with the session; however, if you kill the session by typing Ctrl + C , the registry entry will remain. Use the -cleanup option to remove remaining registry entries.

Note that various tools also have hardcoded instance names:
