8.17. Viewing cluster logs

When you encounter a problem in Acronis Cyber Infrastructure, you can send a problem report, as described in Sending problem reports. The report will gather all the logs needed to troubleshoot the problem and send them to the technical support team.

Alternatively, you can investigate the root cause of your problem by using the logs listed in table below.

Table 8.17.1 Cluster log location
Service Log location Description
Metadata /vstorage/mds/logs/mds.log.zst on the storage node hosting an MDS service Storage metadata service events
Storage

/vstorage/<id>/cs/logs/cs.log.zst on the storage node hosting a CS service

Note

To find out the log location of a particular CS on the node, run vstorage -c <cluster_name> list-services -C.

Chunk service events
Storage mountpoint /var/log/vstorage/<cluster_name>/vstorage-mount.*.blog on any storage node Software-defined storage mounting on each node
Management node /var/log/vstorage-ui-backend/messages.log and /var/log/vstorage-ui-backend/celery*.log on the management node Management node and admin panel events
/var/log/vstorage-ui-agent/* on any storage node Agent controller component events
Backup Gateway

/var/log/vstorage/abgw.log*zst on any node in the Backup Gateway cluster

Note

The latest log is abgw.log.zst, older ones are renamed to abgw.log.0.zst, abgw.log.1.zst, etc.

Note

In case of problems during VM migration, view /var/log/hci/nova/nova-compute.log on the source and destination compute nodes.

To open log files, use the following commands:

  • for log files:

    # less <log_file>.log
    
  • for blog files:

    # blogcat <log_file>.blog | less
    
  • for gz files:

    # zless <log_file>.gz
    
  • for zst files:

    # zstdless <log_file>.zst
