Name
condor_fetchlog Retrieve - a daemon's log file that is located on another computer
Synopsis
condor_fetchlog [-help -version]
condor_fetchlog[-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]] [-master -startd -schedd -collector -negotiator -kbdd] machine-namesubsys-
tem[.extension]
Description
condor_fetchlogcontacts Condor running on the machine specified by machine-name, and asks it to return a log file from that machine. Which
log file is determined from the subsystem[.extension]argument. The log file is printed to standard output. This command eliminates the need
to remotely log in to a machine in order to retrieve a daemon's log file.
For security purposes of authentication and authorization, this command requires an administrator's level of access. See section 3.6.1on
page for more details about Condor's security mechanisms.
The subsystem[.extension]argument is utilized to construct the log file's name. Without an optional .extension, the value of the configura-
tion variable named subsystem_LOG defines the log file's name. When specified, the .extensionis appended to this value.
Typical strings for the argument subsystemare as given as possible values of the predefined configuration variable $(SUBSYSTEM) . See the
definition in section 3.3.1. Note that access to any additional logs can be enabled by simply specifying the path to each log in the con-
figuration file with a configuration parameter named <NAME>_LOG , choosing an arbitrary unique name for each case.
A value for the optional .extensionargument is typically one of the three strings:
1. .old
2. .slot<X>
3. .slot<X>.old Within these strings, <X> is substituted with the slot number.
Options
-help
Display usage information
-version
Display version information
-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]
Specify a pool by giving the central manager's host name and an optional port number
-master
Send the command to the condor_masterdaemon (default)
-startd
Send the command to the condor_startddaemon
-schedd
Send the command to the condor_schedddaemon
-collector
Send the command to the condor_collectordaemon
-kbdd
Send the command to the condor_kbdddaemon
Examples
To get the condor_negotiatordaemon's log from a host named head.example.com from within the current pool:
condor_fetchlog head.example.com NEGOTIATOR
To get the condor_startddaemon's log from a host named execute.example.com from within the current pool:
condor_fetchlog execute.example.com STARTD
This command requested the condor_startddaemon's log from the condor_master. If the condor_masterhas crashed or is unresponsive, ask
another daemon running on that computer to return the log. For example, ask the condor_startddaemon to return the condor_master's log:
condor_fetchlog -startd execute.example.com MASTER
Exit Status
condor_fetchlog will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
