Checking log files

When you verify the cluster, you can check log files.

On the master host, check log files for detailed information about the error that is preventing your cluster from starting properly. For the RS, WEBGUI, and REST services, check log files on the master or management host that the server tries to start these services on.

These are the default locations of frequently needed log files:
  • Linux:
    • EGOSC: $EGO_TOP/eservice/esc/log/esc.log.host_name
    • LIM: $EGO_TOP/kernel/log/lim.log.host_name
    • VEMKD: $EGO_TOP/kernel/log/vemkd.log.host_name
    • PEM: $EGO_TOP/kernel/log/pem.log.host_name
    • RS: $EGO_TOP/eservice/rs/log/rs.host_name.log
    • WEBGUI and REST: $EGO_TOP/kernel/log/wsm.log.host_name
  1. Open the log file that was indicated when you checked cluster responsiveness. The most common errors can be fixed in ego.conf, the main configuration file. The default location of ego.conf is $EGO_TOP/kernel/conf/ego.conf.
  2. Make the change indicated by the log message.
  3. Run egosh ego restart all to restart the cluster for the changes to take effect.
