During normal operation, DTP writes activity messages to several log files stored in the <DTP_DATA_DIR>/logs directory. To verify that everything is working correctly or find the detailed messages of potential issues, you can refer to information stored in the relevant logs.
The following files are the primary logs for:
- Report Center: rs.log
- Data Collector: dc_dtp.log
- License Server: ls.log
- User Administration: pstsec.log
