Finding log files for the Connect service

By default, a server log file is created for each
BEMS
 server and is stored daily on the computer that hosts
BEMS
.
BEMS-Core
 log files are displayed as gems_<
server_name
_
date_time stamp
>.log. By default, the
BEMS
 log files are stored daily in
C:\BlackBerry\bemslogs
. The
Connect
 service logs related information in the
BEMS-Core
 log files for
Cisco Unified Communications Manager
 and
Skype for Business
 when the environment is configured for non-trusted application mode.
The timestamp for each file is reset daily at 0:00 (midnight). It is also reset at the following times:
  • Each time that the
    Good Technology Connect
     service is restarted
  • Each time that the
    Good Technology Common Services
     service is restarted
  • When a maximum file size is reached.
The following table summarizes the log files that are generated by the
BEMS-Connect
 service.
