An embodiment of the invention provides a log acquisition method and device, relates to the technical field of computers, and aims to solve the problem in the prior art that when a routing inspection task is executed, complete software system log, interaction message information of a software system and network equipment and routing inspection log on the network equipment in a routing inspection task execution process cannot be obtained. The log acquisition method includes the following steps: after a routing inspection platform starts a routing inspection task, according to a routing inspection sequence set in the routing inspection task, and each routing inspection function module executes routing inspection operation on a corresponding function module on which routing inspection is to be performed on network equipment on which routing inspection is to be performed; the routing inspection platform records in the routing inspection task execution process a routing inspection log generated when each routing inspection function module executes routing inspection operation; and in the process of the routing inspection task executed by the routing inspection platform, the network equipment on which routing inspection is to be performed records the routing inspection log generated when routing inspection operation is executed on each function module on which routing inspection is to be performed, and a routing inspection interaction message between each function module on which routing inspection is to be performed and the corresponding routing inspection function module is collected when routing inspection operation is executed.
