--get-log

The --get-log option prints the contents of the virtual machine console log files, if they exist within the file system of the virtual machine. When multiple log files exist (as a result of log-file rotation), the contents are concatenated in the old-to-new order.

Notes:

The default location of the console log messages of the virtual machine is /jrockitve/log/jrockitve.log in the file system of the virtual machine. You can specify a different location by using the -r vm.cfg set console-log-path command.

You can find out the current location of the console log files by using the -r vm.cfg get console-log-path command.
If the log file is stored outside the file system of the virtual machine (say, in an NFS location), the --get-log option does not work.

Syntax

java -jar jrockitve-imagetool.jar --get-log vm_cfg [output_file]
