Chapter 12. Managing Red Hat Gluster Storage Logs

The log management framework generates log messages for each of the administrative functionalities and the components to increase the user-serviceability aspect of Red Hat Gluster Storage Server. Logs are generated to track the event changes in the system. The feature makes the retrieval, rollover, and archival of log files easier and helps in troubleshooting errors that are user-resolvable with the help of the Red Hat Gluster Storage Error Message Guide. The Red Hat Gluster Storage Component logs are rotated on a weekly basis. Administrators can rotate a log file in a volume, as needed. When a log file is rotated, the contents of the current log file are moved to log-file-name.epoch-time-stamp.The components for which the log messages are generated with message-ids are glusterFS Management Service, Distributed Hash Table (DHT), and Automatic File Replication (AFR).
