Chapter 3. Commonly required logs for troubleshooting

Some of the commonly used logs for troubleshooting OpenShift Container Storage are listed, along with the commands to generate them.

  • Generating logs for a specific pod: 

     $ oc logs <pod-name> -n <namespace>

  • Generating logs for Ceph or OpenShift Container Storage cluster: 

    $ oc logs rook-ceph-operator-<ID> -n openshift-storage

  • Generating logs for plugin pods like cephfs or rbd to detect any problem in the PVC mount of the app-pod: 

    $ oc logs csi-cephfsplugin-<ID> -n openshift-storage
    $ oc logs csi-rbdplugin-<ID> -n openshift-storage

  • Generating provisioner cephfs or rbd logs if PVC is not in BOUND state 

    $ oc logs csi-cephfsplugin-provisioner-<ID> -n openshift-storage
    $ oc logs csi-rbdplugin-provisioner-<ID> -n openshift-storage

  • Generating OpenShift Container Storage logs using cluster-info command: 

    $ oc cluster-info dump -n openshift-storage --output-directory=<directory-name>
