Viewing Import/Export Logs

After successfully transferring data between AWS and your portable storage device, AWS Import/Export generates a log file. The log file is a UTF-8 encoded CSV file that contains, among other things, information about each file loaded to or from your storage device. With export jobs, AWS Import/Export saves the log files to bucket you specify with the manifest file option, logBucket. For more information, see Common Manifest File Options.

The log file name of an export job always ends with the phrase export-log- followed by your JOBID. For example, if the JOBID is 53TX4, the log file name would end in export-log-53TX4.

[Note]Note

If you have a log file name with the same name as an existing Amazon S3 object, the new log file overwrites the existing object. You can use the logPrefix field to prevent object collisions. For more information about logPrefix, see Common Manifest File Options.

You can download your log file using the AWS Management Console.

Sample Log File

AWS Import/Export uses same set of fields in describing the log of an import or an export job. For more information about log files and descriptions of various log file fields, see Log File Fields.
