Run an Update with Debug3
Now you can use a much simplified syntax to collect things when the support team ask. For example:
| Code Block |
|---|
nmis NODENAME update debug3 |
Where is the Debug File?
Look for the debug logs in /tmp, the following command is a handy one which prints out in reverse timestamp order, so the last file is the most recently updated.
| Code Block |
|---|
ls -lrt /tmp/NODENAME* |
e.g. the output looks like:
| Code Block |
|---|
keiths@volla:~$ ls -lrt /tmp/server1*
