Obtaining Log Files

There are several logs generated by GridServer. Depending on what kind of issue you are troubleshooting, you might need to examine one or more logs. These include Manager, Driver, Engine, and Engine Daemon logs.

The current log is always named gridserver.log, driver.log, or engine-Instance#.TIMESTAMP. When logs reach a configured size, they are “rolled over”, and the old log is time stamped. Logs are also moved when a non-Driver component first starts, and are timestamped with the last modification date of the file. Optionally, the process ID of the component doing the logging can be added to the filenames of the current log file.
