Error and event logging

Learn how LSF uses system directories, log files, temporary work files, log files, and transaction files and job spooling files. Manage LSF error logs, system event logs. Configure duplicate logging of event logs and set daemon message log levels. Set daemon timing levels and configure LSF job termination reason logging. Learn about LSF job exit codes.

Tip: The LSF log and event files (including those for License Scheduler and Data Manager) can contain personal information (for example, UNIX usernames and email addresses). OS-level access control is one level of protecting this persona data; for further protection, you can use encryption software tools to encrypt the disk partition or volume used to store the log and events files. LSF log and event files are located at LSF_TOP/log and LSF_TOP/work/cluster_name/logdir.
