Topic

This document describes how to enable additional feed logging to troubleshoot feed related cases.

Steps

1. Create a backup of the enterprise-logger.conf file (if in a clustered environment, only modify this file on the master (head-end) server):

cp /etc/cb/enterprise-logger.conf /etc/cb/enterprise-logger.conf_orig
2. Edit the original /etc/cb/enterprise-logger.conf file:

vi /etc/cb/enterprise-logger.conf
3. Add the following "cb.core.feeds" text to the [loggers] section:

[loggers]
keys=root, cb.core.feeds
4. Add the following NEW section, just after the [logger_root] section:

[logger_cb.core.feeds]
level=DEBUG
handlers=syslog
propagate=0
qualname=cb.core.feeds

Example: The file should read as:

...

[loggers]
keys=root, cb.core.feeds

[handlers]
keys=syslog

[formatters]
keys=generic

[logger_root]
level=INFO
handlers=syslog

[logger_cb.core.feeds]
level=DEBUG
handlers=syslog
qualname=cb.core.feeds
propagate=0
...
5. No need to restart the services (but ensure all services are running).
service cb-enterprise status

Note: the above command also applies to clustered environments, but only make this change on the master (head-end) server.

6. Refer to the Support Engineer assigned to your case for steps to reproduce your issue

7. Support Engineer will request logs one of two ways:

7a. Upload all log files with the enterprise.log naming convention:

/usr/share/cb/cbpost /var/log/cb/enterprise.log*

7b. Collect and upload all Carbon Black diagnostics logs:

/usr/share/cb/cbdiag --post

Note: If the above commands fail to upload to the Alliance server, the cbdiag_*.zip archive file will be saved in the location the command was ran from. You can send the cbdiag or enterprise.log files manually at Cb Vault :

Upload all collected data at Cb Vault

8. Once the Technical Support Engineer requests you disable logging, rename the backup copy of your enterprise-logging.conf file to restore to default settings:

mv /etc/cb/enterprise-logger.conf_orig /etc/cb/enterprise-logger.conf
