3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Other Matrix Maintenance

Although Matrix Server requires little special maintenance beyond that

which is normally required for your servers and services, you may need

to perform the following activities:

• Maintain log files

• Collect log files for analysis by PolyServe Technical Support

• Disable a server for maintenance

• Troubleshoot a matrix

• Troubleshoot service and device monitors

Maintain Log Files

Matrix Server stores its log files in the /var/log/polyserve directory on each

server in the matrix. These log files are typically used to record the

actions of the Matrix Server daemons and agents. The matrix.log log file is

of particular interest and is the log file for the ClusterPulse daemon. You

can use the Management Console to view this log file and to manage its

size.

The matrix.log File

The matrix.log file stores messages from the ClusterPulse daemon. You

can also add your own user-defined messages to this file.
