10.7 Viewing the Cluster Event Log at the Command Line

You can view cluster events logged in the /admin/Novell/Cluster/EventLog.xml file by copying the /admin/Novell/Cluster/EventLog.xml file to a working location, and using the cat command to display the file.

  1. Log in to the node as the root user, then open a terminal console.

  2. Enter

    cp /admin/Novell/Cluster/EventLog.xml /tmp/

cat /tmp/EventLog.xml

    This returns the log content in an XML format. For example:

    <logEntry>
  <timeStamp> 5/12/2013 23:28:38</timeStamp>
  <node>CG-03</node>
  <clusterEvent>Joined at epoch 2</clusterEvent>
</logEntry>

<logEntry>
  <timeStamp> 5/12/2013 23:27:16</timeStamp>
  <resource>Master_IP_Address_Resource</resource>
  <clusterEvent>Running on CG-01</clusterEvent>
</logEntry>

<logEntry>
  <timeStamp> 5/12/2013 23:27:15</timeStamp>
