About the CMC Logs Manager

The Cluster Management Console (CMC) Logs Manager allows you to view, download, and summarize log files for all of the activities done in Incorta clusters.

CMC Logs Manager Access Rights

Only a CMC administrator can view the logs by selecting the Logs tab in the navigation bar of the CMC.

Types of Log Files

There are different types of logs:

Service/Node Logs

The node log files are specific to a service or a node.
Such files contain logs for notifications, alerts, scheduled events, and synchronizations between the loader and the analytics services.

Incorta stores these files at the following location:
<incorta_installation_directory>/IncortaAnalytics/IncortaNode/services/<serviceID>/logs/incorta/

The log file name format in the CMC Logs Manager is:
localNode_<service_name>_incorta.<date>.log
For example, localNode_analyticsService_incorta.2021-03-23.log.

System Logs

The System log files are internal tenant log files that contain the startups and shutdowns logs.

Note

You can find the Default Tenant Configurations page in CMC under Clusters > <cluster_name> > Configurations.

The System log file name format in the CMC Logs Manager is:
localNode_<service_name>_system_incorta.<date>.log
For example, localNode_analyticsService_system_incorta.2021-03-23.log.

Tenant Logs

The Tenant log files contain all of the activities done for a certain Tenant, such as login, loading schemas, and opening dashboards.

Incorta stores these files at the following location:
<incorta_installation_directory>/IncortaAnalytics/IncortaNode/services/<serviceID>/logs/incorta/<tenant>/

The Tenant log file name format in the CMC Logs Manager is:
localNode_<service_name>_<tenant_name_>_incorta.<date>.log. For example, localNode_loaderService_tenant_incorta.2021-03-23.log.

Catalina Logs

The Catalina log files contain all of the activities in Tomcat server and all activities done outside of Incorta, such as APIs and .jar files. Incorta stores these files at the following location:
<incorta_installation_directory>/IncortaAnalytics/IncortaNode/services/<serviceID>/logs/

he Catalina log file name format in the CMC Logs Manager is:
localNode_<service_name_>_catalina.<date>.log
For example, localNode_loaderService_catalina.2021-03-23.log.

SQLi Logs

The SQLi log files contain all of the interaction logs of a third-party tool with the analytics service database.

Incorta stores these files at the following location:
<installation_directory>/IncortaAnalytics/IncortaNode/services/<serviceID>/logs/incorta/sqli/

The SQLi log file name format in the CMC Logs Manager is:
localNode_<service_name_>_sqli_incorta.<date>.log
For example, localNode_analyticsService_sqli_incorta.2021-03-23.log.
