condor_ fetchlog

Retrieve a 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-name log-file-name

Description

condor_ fetchlog contacts Condor running on the machine specified by machine-name, and asks it to return a log file from that machine. This simplifies the retrieval of log file by bypassing the need to log on to the machine in order to get the log file.

For security purposes of authentication and authorization, this command requires an administrator's level of access. See section 3.7.3 on page  for more details about Condor's security mechanisms.

The log-file-name argument identifies the log file to retrieve. It is defined by the name given in the configuration file, without the "_LOG" suffix. For COLLECTOR_LOG, it is COLLECTOR. The complete list of log files are defined by

  MASTER
  COLLECTOR
  NEGOTIATOR
  NEGOTIATOR_MATCH
  SCHEDD
  SHADOW
  STARTD
  STARTER

Examples

To get the condor_ negotiator daemon's log from a host named head.example.com from within the current pool:

condor_fetchlog head.example.com NEGOTIATOR

To get the condor_ startd daemon'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_ startd daemon's log from the condor_ master. If the condor_ master has crashed or is unresponsive, ask another daemon running on that computer to return the log. For example, ask the condor_ startd daemon 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.
