Cisco Prime Infrastructure logs

Looking at Cisco Prime Infrastructure logs is annoying: if the logs are small, you can email them, but did you see any installation with small logs? The option to download the logs makes the appliance to zip ALL log files before they can be downloaded. It takes time.

At this time, on Cisco Prime Infrastructure, you can keep a maximum of  20 log files of 50 Mb.

Since there is no option to download just the ncs-* files, I use to ssh login into the console, get root, and ftp the files out of the server. The log files are located on:

/opt/CSCOlumos/logs

That's it.
