# --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]

Note:

For information about the syntax conventions, see Documentation Conventions for Command-Line Syntax.

Arguments

Argument | Description | Mandatory / Optional
--- | --- | ---
`vm_cfg` | Path and name of the configuration file corresponding to the virtual machine file system that you want to view or modify | Mandatory
`output_file` | The path and name of the file to which you want the contents of the log file to be written | Optional If you do not specify the output file, the command prints the contents of the log files to `stdout`.

Example

    java -jar jrockitve-imagetool.jar --get-log app/vm.cfg /logs/100215.txt

This command copies the contents of the log files to the `/logs/100215.txt` file.
