2.  Set logging to debug if it is not already.
3.  SSH to the particular vROps node performing collection on the adapter instance and login as root.
4.  cd $ALIVE_BASE/user/log/adapters/<adapter_name>/
5.  tail -F <adapter_name_[xxxx].log | tee longrun.log
6.  Stop and start adapter collection in vROps.
