Logging and Log Files

Log directories vary by deployment type and by application.

EFA logs are saved to the following locations:

Non-TPVM deployments: /var/log/efa. The installation logs in the /var/log/efa/installer directory are a good source for discovering the reason for a failure.
TPVM deployments: /apps/efa_logs
Kubernetes log files: /var/log/pods
Keepalived service log files: /supportsave/keepalived. The directory contains Keepalived service logs and the journalctl log of Keepalived for the past day. This information is useful for helping debug failovers, double faults, and gateway connectivity.

In multi-node, high availability deployments, logs are replicated on all nodes in the cluster.

The efa system supportsave script gathers all logs, database dumps, pod logs, and deployment details and then compresses them into a ZIP folder. You can share this ZIP folder with Extreme support personnel when troubleshooting an issue.
