Issue/Introduction

This article contains the instructions on how to convert .LOG files into CSV format for Symantec Protection Engine versions 7.5 and 7.8

Resolution

The following command must be run from within the Symantec Protection Engine’s main operating directory (e.g.  opt/SYMCScan/bin)

./logconverter –c [path to .LOG file]

Example:

[[email protected]]#./logconverter –c ..log/SSE20170214.log

NOTE: Using the above command format will list the output on-screen and not create a .CSV file.  If a .CSV file is needed use this command format:

./logconverter –c [path to .LOG file] > [path to .CSV destination]

Example:

[[email protected]]#./logconverter –c ..log/SSE20170214.log > ..log/logfile1.csv
