The log output for a single server may be viewed from the Jobs Logs page.
NOTE: Log output for a job is only available when the job is complete.

Procedure 40 To view the log output for a job
1. Select Jobs from the main menu.
2. Select the job of interest from the left side master pane list of jobs.
3. Select Logs from the jobs Overview page view menu.
4. Select the server of interest from the Server logs for menu.
9.1.1 Interpreting log output
Log output is displayed for the server selected in the Server logs for menu.
Log output from the job is sorted into two categories (Standard output and Standard error) and is
usually organized by OS Build Plan step. The most recent message is at the bottom of the log
output.
• Standard output – The normal message output of running processes is usually written to the
standard output I/O stream (STDOUT), for example:
Step 1 of 9: Run OGFS Script 'Validate Job Settings'.
The Step x of x messages come from SA as it starts executing each Build Plan step. The
majority of other messages come from Build Plan steps as they execute. These messages usually
include information on actions being performed, output from commands being run, and the
step progress.
If there is a failure running the job, refer to the Standard error section of the log output.
• Standard error – The error message output of running processes are usually written to the
standard error I/O stream (STDERR), for example:
Error from step 1 'Validate Job Settings':
When a Build Plan step encounters an error, it should write the error message to standard
error. However not all processes write their error messages to standard error, so some error
messages might appear in the standard output section.
There might be messages from SA software in the log output. These messages might include an
SA object ID; SA assigns IDs to Insight Control server provisioning resources such as servers and
jobs. For example, in the log output, the SA ID for a server appears as (ServerRef:xxxxx).
These IDs appear in the IC server provisioning UI in the General area of the object’s Overview
page.
