ConMan is a tool used for connecting to remote consoles and collecting console logs. These node logs can then be used for various administrative purposes, such as troubleshooting node boot issues.
ConMan runs on the system as a containerized service. It runs in a set of Docker containers within Kubernetes pods
in the services namespace named cray-console-operator and cray-console-node.
Node console logs are stored locally within the cray-console-node pods in the /var/log/conman/ directory, as well as being collected by
the System Monitoring Framework (SMF).
In CSM versions 1.7.0 and later, the ConMan logs and interactive consoles are accessible through the Cray CLI. The cray console command
provides a set of subcommands for accessing the logs and interactive consoles.
