Table of Contents
Provides an interface for log messages, CMON jobs, and error reporting for troubleshooting and auditing purposes. The tab is embedded with a counter (highlighted in red) indicating there are new jobs executed by ClusterControl under ClusterControl → Logs → Jobs that might require your attention.
Jobs
Any action performed by the user will trigger the creation of a new job, which is added to a job queue. ClusterControl then schedules each job in the order they are added to the queue. When a job is executed, detailed workflow messages related to the execution of the job are logged. This is useful for troubleshooting, especially if a job starts execution but fails to complete.
You can see which user performed an action in the Job log, what that action actually entailed, and from which IP the action originated.
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| FINISHED | The job was successfully executed. |
| RUNNING | The job is currently running. |
| DEFINED | The job has been defined and queued. |
| FAILED | The job was stopped due to an error. |
CMON Logs
A centralized list of log events from the ClusterControl server and agents. You can filter the output by hostname and log level (ALL, DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL, ALERT). Log events listed in this page can also be retrieved directly from the CMON log file (default is /var/log/cmon.log).
Error Reports
Generates a compressed file (tarball) containing information about the cluster (CMON logs, database error logs, and the contents of some important CMON DB tables). This is very useful for troubleshooting purposes, especially when working with the Severalnines Support team on a support issue. Attach the generated compressed file to your support request.
To create an error report, click on the Create Error Report button. This will trigger a CMON job. Once it completes, the error report package will be listed on this page.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Store Error Report on Web Server | Yes – The generated error report will be stored on the ClusterControl web root directory, you can download it directly via the web browser. No – The generated error report will be stored on the ClusterControl node in a custom location. |
| Destination | Only applicable if you specified Store Error Report on Web Server to No. This destination is relative to the ClusterControl node. |
We also recommend you take a screenshot showing the problem area, e.g, the Cluster Overview dashboard from the UI is useful if there are node failures, cluster issues or missing data.
System Logs
Tree view of corresponding database logs across a cluster. Clicking on a log file will appear in a new tab in the viewing panel on the right-hand side. Browsing through the appropriate error logs is the key element of the troubleshooting process.
Click on ‘Refresh Logs’ will trigger a job for ClusterControl to perform log collection. By default, the logs are fetched every db_stats_collection which is 30 minutes. You can verify this from the ‘Last Updated’ value at the bottom of the section.
Starting from ClusterControl 1.9.7 (September 2023), ClusterControl GUI v2 is the default frontend graphical user interface (GUI) for ClusterControl. Note that the GUI v1 is considered a feature-freeze product with no future development. All new developments will be happening on ClusterControl GUI v2. See User Guide (GUI v2).
