C: tmp directory on the storage node
D: tar file in the current directory on each storage node
Correct Answer:
A. tar file in the current directory on the utility node
Explanation

The getlogs script is a command-line utility executed on the Avamar utility node to gather comprehensive diagnostic information from all nodes within the grid. It consolidates the collected log files and system status data into a single, compressed tar archive. By default, this output file, typically named logs-.tar.gz, is created and saved in the current working directory from which the script was run, facilitating easy retrieval for support and analysis.

Why Incorrect

B. The script aggregates logs onto the utility node; it does not store the final output on each storage node's root directory.
C. The final compressed archive is not placed in the /tmp directory on storage nodes; it resides on the utility node.
D. A single, consolidated tar file is created on the utility node, not individual tar files on each storage node.

1. Dell Avamar 19.7 Administration Guide, Page 471, "Running the getlogs script" section states: "The getlogs script collects log files and other system information from all nodes on the Avamar server. The script creates a compressed tar file in the directory where you run the script."
