View Configuration Session Logs

Ansible logs are recorded with ARA and are accessible through the ARA UI. See Ansible Log Collection for more information.

Logs for the other steps of a session are available via the kubectl log command for each container of a Configuration Framework Service (CFS) session. Refer to CFS Sessions for more info about these containers.

  1. (ncn-mw#) Find the name of the Kubernetes pod that is running the CFS session:

    kubectl get pods --no-headers -o custom-columns=":metadata.name" -n services -l cfsession=example

  2. (ncn-mw#) Store the returned pod name as the CFS_POD_NAME variable for future use:

    CFS_POD_NAME=cfs-f9d18751-e6d1-4326-bf76-434293a7b1c5-q8tsc

  3. (ncn-mw#) Alternatively, if the session is one of many recent sessions and the session name is not known, it is possible to list all CFS pods by start time and pick the desired pod based on status or start time:

    kubectl -n services --sort-by=.metadata.creationTimestamp get pods | grep cfs

    Example output:

    cfs-47bed8b5-e1b1-4dd7-b71c-40e9750d3183-7msmr                 0/7     Completed   0          36m

  4. (ncn-mw#) To view the logs of the various containers:

    kubectl logs -n services ${CFS_POD_NAME} -c ${CONTAINER_NAME}

  5. (ncn-mw#) The ${CONTAINER_NAME} value is one of the containers mentioned in CFS Sessions. To view the Ansible logs, the ${CONTAINER_NAME} will be ansible.

    kubectl logs -n services ${CFS_POD_NAME} -c ansible

    Use the -f option with the previous command to follow the logs if the session is still running.
