  1. Log into the Master node as root via SSH or Console.
  2. Navigate to the following directory:
    root@vrops [ ~ ]# cd /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/conf/collector/
    
  3. Once in the aforementioned directory open the following file using your preferred text editor: log4j2.properties
  4. With the log4j2.properties file opened modify the following line:
    
    Original Line:
    rootLogger.level = WARN
    
    Change to:
    rootLogger.level = DEBUG
    
  5. Once the applicable line has been modified save and close the file. No services are required to be restarted in order for the logging to take effect.
  6. Wait ~ 5-10 minutes for the next collection cycle to kick off and reproduce the issue you are troubleshooting.
  7. Once the issue is reproduced capture a Full Support Bundle (outlined below) and upload to Pure Storage for review.
    Note:

    Once the Full Support Bundle has been captured it is important to revert the log line to its original state to ensure there are no issues with logging or storage.
