### Example 2. Getting Details on Specific Session Started to Collect System Logs

This example shows how to get details on the session that was started to collect system logs for the `R01` replica job.

```
$job = Get-VBRJob -Name R01
Export-VBRLogs -Job $job -FolderPath "C:\logs"
Log          : {1, 2, 3, 4...}
CreationTime : 1/10/2020 3:19:16 AM
EndTime      : 1/10/2020 3:20:27 AM
JobId        : cfe697c9-fd5f-4b19-a7b5-f7330a3d828b
Result       : Success
State        : Stopped
Id           : cfe697c9-fd5f-4b19-a7b5-f7330a3d828b
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRJob`](get-vbrjob.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$job` parameter value.
2. Run the `Export-VBRLogs` cmdlet. Set the `$job` variable as the `Job` parameter value. Specify the `FolderPath` parameter value.

   The cmdlet output will contain the following details on these sessions: `Log`, `CreationTime`, `EndTime`, `JobId`, `Result`, `State` and `Id`.
