Installation Logs

To troubleshoot an installation, log files can be inspected. For example, detailed platform commands show in the execute.log file. Here, log entries for the command execution have a ui column. Log entries that follow these show related commands.

To only see the commands in execute.log example, you can open a new console and run:

log follow execute.log | grep ” ui “

Note

Logs are rotated and install commands may not show after log rotation.

The list below shows examples of installation commands and corresponding ui and following entries in execute.log.
