Problem

When upgrading FTD 2.x via console (e.g. on Linux), it is good practice to monitor upgrade log for completion and/or errors during upgrade process. What is more - if there are errors during upgrade, this log is one of the necessary logs to provide when reporting an issue with failed upgrade.

Resolution

Default upgrade log is located in FTD Install Directory and is named Install.log.

For example, on virtual and physical appliances running Linux SLES, the default location is:  /opt/axway/install.log

Below is an extract from this log for reference:
