I’ve not had any success in using the compressed files like “restv2-diagnostics.log.9.gz”. The data is nothing like the v1 logs. It looks as though every line that is in the normal file has a folder named after it and another subfolder resulting in thousands of folders and subfolders with an empty file. It’s not usable. Has anyone figured this out?

API logging - REST v2 Logs

Thanks! this made me think I had a zip tool issue. Using the native one in Windows is where I am having the issue. I have 7zip and that resolved it!
+4My v25 server is only a test server, so the logs have not rolled over, but the log format should be the same as in restv2-diagnostics.log. If you uncompress restv2-diagnostics.log.9.gz it should look similar.
Try this:
gunzip < restv2-diagnostics.log.9.gz > restv2-diagnostics.log.9.out

zcat or zless on the bluecat appliance should help.
zgrep can look into zipped logs as well.
