Troubleshoot using multiple EGO log files

If a service does not start as expected, open the appropriate service log file and review the runtime information that is contained within it to discover the problem. Look for relevant entries such as insufficient disk space, lack of memory, or network problems that result in unavailable hosts.

EGO log file locations and content

Log file	Default location	What it contains
esc.log	Linux: LSF_LOGDIR/esc.log.`host_name` Windows: LSF_LOGDIR\esc.log.`host_name`	Logs service failures and service instance restarts based on availability plans.
named.log	Linux: LSF_LOGDIR/named.log.`host_name` Windows: LSF_LOGDIR\named.log.`host_name`	Logs information that is gathered during the updating and querying of service instance location; logged by BIND, a DNS server.
pem.log	Linux: LSF_LOGDIR/pem.log.`host_name` Windows: LSF_LOGDIR\pem.log.`host_name`	Logs remote operations (start, stop, control activities, failures). Logs tracked results for resource usage of all processes that are associated with the host, and information for accounting or chargeback.
vemkd.log	Linux: LSF_LOGDIR/vemkd.log.`host_name` Windows: LSF_LOGDIR\vemkd.log.`host_name`	Logs aggregated host information about the state of individual resources, status of allocation requests, consumer hierarchy, resource assignment to consumers, and started operating system-level processes.
wsg.log	Linux: LSF_LOGDIR/wsg.log.`host_name` Windows: LSF_LOGDIR\wsg.log.`host_name`	Logs service failures in web services interfaces for web service client applications.
