About logs

Note:

Logs are only functional when Symphony is installed.

Logs are a valuable tool used for troubleshooting resources, daemons, and services. Cluster and consumer administrators can retrieve and download the logs found in the table below using the Platform Management Console. They can also choose to retrieve part of a log file instead of the entire file. Log files up to 2 MB are supported.

Note:

Depending on what you have installed, all of these logs may not be available.
