How to review log files on MSL

[pmhaynes]

When it all goes wrong and you don't know why, its time to look through the log files.

Sometimes you need see what is happening realtime in the log rather than historical.

I use a linux command "tail" to look through the logs in putty

Thanks pmhaynes, but what about a list of what each log file is? I've known how to use tail, but struggle to know which log file to look at for various things.

Most of the logs are owned by third-party Unix processes, logged through syslog. For Mitel services, they usually have their own logs, using svlogd under runit.

If the logs begin with a tai64n timestamp, don't forget to pipe them through tai64nlocal.
