Parameter Description

Parameter	Optional or Mandatory	Description
file_or_folder_url	Optional	Indicates the path to which log files are archived. The rules are as follows: If this parameter is left blank, log files are archived to the same directory where obsutil commands reside with obsutil_log.zip as the archive file name. If this parameter specifies a file or folder path that does not exist, the tool checks whether the value ends with a slash (/) or backslash (\). If yes, a folder is created based on the path, and log files are archived to the newly created directory with obsutil_log.zip as the archive file name. If this parameter specifies a file or folder path that does not exist and the value does not end with a slash (/) or backslash (\), log files are archived to a local PC with the value as the archive file name. If this parameter specifies an existing .zip file, then log files are archived to a local PC overwriting the existing file, with the value as the archive file name. If this parameter specifies an existing folder, then log files are archived to the specified directory with obsutil_log.zip as the archive file name. NOTE: All archive files are .zip files.
bucket	Mandatory for archiving log files to a specified bucket	Bucket name
key	Optional for archiving log files to a specified bucket	Indicates the object name or object name prefix when archiving log files to a specified bucket. The rules are as follows: If this parameter is left blank, log files are archived to the root directory of the bucket with obsutil_log.zip as the object name. If the value ends with a slash (/), the value is used as the object name prefix when archiving log files, and the object name is the value plus obsutil_log.zip. Otherwise, log files are archived with the value as the object name.
config	Optional (additional parameter)	User-defined configuration file for executing a command. For details about parameters that can be configured, see Configuration Parameters.
