Accessing log files

Thu Jun 18, 2015 7:25 pm

ECL Watch in 5.2 seems to have the useful ability to let me look at the various log files on any node. However, for the thor nodes, when I try to view one I get an error: WsTopology.TpLogFile Cannot open file in /var/log/.../<file>.log

This seems like it might be a permissions issue, but I don't know what permissions are needed by ECL Watch to get these files.

For the system server logs, I get a different error. For example:
FileSpray.FileList CreateIFile cannot resolve //0.0.0.0/var/log/HPCCSystems/myeclccserver

Hi Alex,

Did you try accessing the THOR logs under the Cluster Processes menu item?
Operations >> Cluster Processes.

Hi Bob.

I don't see a way to get to the logs from Operations->Cluster Processes. It shows me what directory the logs are saved in, but that's it. I only see a way to access the logs through Operations->Topology (which is what doesn't work).

When you open Cluster Processes, click on the appropriate cluster link to open it. the icon to open the logs is in the Name column.

Ok, I found it. I see the list of names for the log, but when I select it I get a Page Not Found.

ETA: Turns out if I double click it instead of pressing the select button, I can open the file (that's not intuitive). So why doesn't it work from the Topology page?
