Obtain Logs

Obtaining Logs from the BOSH Director.
Start by logging into your Ops Manager via SSH. If using vSphere, use your admin password and ubuntu as a username

~$ ssh [email protected]

Next, through the Ops Manager GUI, select the BOSH Director tile and make a note of the (2) following items:

• IP Address: Under the status tab, record the IP Address of your BOSH Director
• Username/Password: Under the credentials tab, record the Username and Password from vm credentials

Now, using your ops manager ssh session, log in the BOSH Director like so:

~$ ssh {vm_credentials_username}@{bosh_director_ip}
>{vm_credentials_password}
ie.
~$ ssh [email protected]

Finally we can obtain the logs we need. Let's start by bundling them into a tar ball.

~$ sudo -i
~$tar zcvhf ~/bosh_logs.tgz /var/vcap/sys/log
