Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)¶
Q. What if I accidentally delete some log files from the logs folder /data2/logs/F5Networks_F5ACIServiceCenter on the APIC? New log files are not generated by the app.
In order to recreate the deleted log files, disable and re-enable the application from the APIC Apps tab. Once the app is re-enabled, the logging should work correctly.
