17.4 Log Files

NCS normally writes log messages to /var/log/messages. You can view cluster events by using the Clusters plug-in for Novell iManager. Go to Clusters > My Clusters, select the cluster, then click Event Log.

NCS installation writes log messages to /var/opt/novell/install/ncslog.

NCS configuration writes log messages to /var/log/YaST2/y2log.

NCS writes cluster resource runtime messages to files under /var/opt/novell/log/ncs/. Output log files are named with the resource name, the type of script (load, unload, or monitor), and the .out extension (<resource_name>.<load|unload|monitor>.out). For example: /var/opt/novell/log/ncs/myresource.unload.out reports the log for the myresource unload script messages.
