Logging for Troubleshooting

Introduction

This web is for development of central logging services and utilities in the context of troubleshooting ATLAS distributed data management (DDM) and OSG Integration.

• Perhaps even ATLAS LCG logfiles, see http://voatlas01.cern.ch/storage/atlas/

Syslog-ng

• Syslog-ng Install - installation notes for the initial deployment
• More info is in the OSG readiness plan and install instructions on the OSG Validation Testbed. Eventually there will be a Pacmanized version of this in the VDT.

We have been evaluating a Splunk, a searchable database for system and application logfiles.

• SplunkInstall
• SplunkData
