Storage migration service operational log is empty

Hi I can not find logs for operational but only for debug and admin for Storagemigrationservice and storagemigrationservice-proxy.

I justy disable and re-enable operational log from the gui and also from powershell but nothing change.

There is some trick in the registry? I find the registration in 

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\StorageMigrationService but there is a edb and their relative logs that are not txt format.

I need to trace the duration of the past process because I need to sync the migration in scheduled manner

  • Hi, enabling the Operational log after the fact usually will not recreate historical events. I’d check the Admin and Debug logs, plus Windows Admin Center gateway logs, for the job details you still have. Going forward, enable the relevant logs before the migration run and record the job start/end times separately.
