Orchestrator Log Files
VMware Technical Support routinely requests diagnostic information from you when a support request is
received by them. This diagnostic information contains product-specific logs and configuration files from
the host on which the product runs. The information is gathered by using a specific script tool for each
product.
Table 8‑3. Orchestrator Log Files
File Name Location Description
scripting.log
n
If you installed Orchestrator standalone:
install_directory\VMware\Orchestrator\a
pp-server\log
n
If you installed Orchestrator by using the
vCenter Server installer :
install_directory\VMware\Infrastructur
e\Orchestrator\app-server\log
n
If you deployed the
Orchestrator Appliance: /var/log/vco/app-
server
Provides a list of the completed
workflows and actions. The
scripts-logs.log file lets you
isolate workflow runs and actions
runs from normal Orchestrator
operations. This information is
also included in the server.log
file.
server.log
n
If you installed Orchestrator standalone:
install_directory\VMware\Orchestrator\a
pp-server\log
n
If you installed Orchestrator with the
vCenter Server installer:
install_directory\VMware\Infrastructur
e\Orchestrator\app-server\log
n
If you deployed the
Orchestrator Appliance: /var/log/vco/app-
server
Provides information about all
activities on the Orchestrator
server. Analyze the server.log
file when you debug Orchestrator
or any application that runs on
Orchestrator.
wrapper-configuration.log
n
If you installed Orchestrator standalone:
install_directory\VMware\Orchestrator\c
onfiguration\logs
n
If you installed Orchestrator by using the
vCenter Server installer:
install_directory\VMware\Infrastructur
e\Orchestrator\configuration\logs
Provides information about the
configuration and validation of
each component of Orchestrator.
catalina.out
On the
Orchestrator
Appliance: /var/log/vco/configuration/
Provides information about the
configuration and validation of
each component of Orchestrator in
the Orchestrator Appliance. The
file is analogous to wrapper-
configuration.log in the
Windows installation of
Orchestrator.
vso.log
n
If you installed Orchestrator standalone:
install_directory\VMware\Orchestrator\a
pps
n
If you installed Orchestrator by using the
vCenter Server installer:
install_directory\VMware\Infrastructur
e\Orchestrator\apps
n
If you installed the Orchestrator client on a Mac
machine: install_directory
n
If you installed the Orchestrator client on a Linux
machine: install_directory
This is the Orchestrator client log.
Use this log to detect connection
issues with the server and events
on the client side. It is not
available for the
Orchestrator Appliance.
