How do you debug OpenStack compute issues? (tools, logs, ...)
Answer
To debug compute issues in OpenStack (Nova), you can use the following:
- Logs: Check the Nova service logs (e.g.,
/var/log/nova/nova-compute.log,/var/log/nova/nova-api.log,/var/log/nova/nova-scheduler.log) for error messages. - Nova CLI: Use the
novacommand-line tool to check the status of instances, hosts, and services. - Instance Console Log: View the console log of a specific instance to see boot-up messages and other output.
- Hypervisor: Check the logs and status of the underlying hypervisor (e.g., KVM, QEMU) to identify issues with virtualization.
