How do I view ARMS agent logs? - Application Real-Time Monitoring Service

ARMS agent logs help you diagnose agent-level issues such as startup failures, connectivity problems, or configuration errors. The logs are stored on the worker nodes of your Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) cluster.

Log file location

Environment	Log path
ACK cluster worker node	`/home/admin/.opt/ArmsAgent/logs/`

View log files

Connect to the ACK cluster worker node by using SSH.

List available log files:

ls /home/admin/.opt/ArmsAgent/logs/*.log

View a specific log file:
```
cat /home/admin/.opt/ArmsAgent/logs/<log-file-name>.log
```
Replace <log-file-name> with the actual file name from step 2.

To monitor log output in real time, use tail -f:

tail -f /home/admin/.opt/ArmsAgent/logs/<log-file-name>.log

Troubleshooting

If you cannot find the log files or they are empty, check the following:

Verify that the ARMS agent is installed and running on the worker node.
Verify that the current user has read permissions on the /home/admin/.opt/ArmsAgent/logs/ directory.
Verify that sufficient disk space is available on the worker node.
