EGO log files
Log files contain important run-time information about the general health of EGO
daemons, workload submissions, and other EGO system events. Log files are an
essential troubleshooting tool during production and testing.
The naming convention for most EGO log files is the name of the daemon plus the
host name the daemon is running on.
The following table outlines the daemons and their associated log file names. Log
files on Windows hosts have a
.txt extension.
Most log entries are informational in nature. It is not uncommon to have a large
(and growing) log file and still have a healthy cluster.
