Viewing NetBackup logs
To view NetBackup logs you can exec into the log-viewer pod and view the logs or extract them first and view them after they have been extracted. For more information on extracting the logs, see the following section:
See Extracting NetBackup logs.
To view NetBackup logs
- First find the log-viewer pod: $ kubectl get pod -n netbackup | grep log-viewer
nb-log-viewer-0 1/1 Running 0 7d
- Exec into the log-viewer pod using the pod name from the previous command:
$ kubectl exec -it -n netbackup nb-log-viewer-0 -- /bin/bash
- Move into the fluentbit log location:
$ cd /usr/openv/fluentbit/logs
- Folders are labeled by date:
$ ls
2024-02-02 2024-02-03
- Move into the folder of the date you are looking at and the logs are grouped by namespace:$ cd 2024-02-03/
$ ls
netbackup netbackup-operator-system kube-system trust-manager
- Move into the folder of the namespace you are looking at and the logs are there labeled by pod name:
$ cd netbackup/
$ ls
<netbackup namespace>-nbatd-0 <netbackup namespace>-policyjob-0 <netbackup namespace>-primary-0 nb-fluentbit-daemonset-2l4sh nb-fluentbit-daemonset-7ndsg nb-fluentbit-daemonset-qlv4m <netbackup namespace>-nbwsapp-0 <netbackup namespace>-bpdbm-0 <netbackup namespace>-policyjobmgr-0 nb-fluentbit-collector-7dfc4d95b8-mzrkr nb-fluentbit-aemonset-6nj66 nb-fluentbit-daemonset-9pslq nb-fluentbit-daemonset-wpwp4
