Syntax

Get-ClusterLog
   [[-Node] <StringCollection>]
   [-Destination <String>]
   [-TimeSpan <UInt32>]

Description

The Get-ClusterLog cmdlet creates a log file for all nodes, or a specific a node, in a failover cluster.

When creating a log file for the cluster, you can specify the timespan that you want logged information for in addition to providing a destination for the created logs.

Note: This cmdlet cannot be run remotely without Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP) authentication on the server computer.

Examples

Example 1: Create a log file for the local cluster

Get-ClusterLog

This command creates a log file for the local cluster in the cluster reports folder C:\Windows\Cluster\Reports on each node of the cluster.

Example 2: Create log files for each node and save them locally

Get-ClusterLog -Destination .

This command creates a log file for each node of the local cluster, and copies all logs to the local folder.

Example 3: Create a log file for the local cluster for previous five minutes

Get-ClusterLog -TimeSpan 5

This command creates a log file for the local cluster in the cluster reports folder C:\Windows\Cluster\Reports on each node of the cluster. The log covers the last 5 minutes.
