Log File Locations
You can find log files for Faspex and its associated components in the following
directories:
- Faspex: /opt/aspera/faspex/log/
- asctl: /opt/aspera/common/asctl/asctl.log
- MySQL: /opt/aspera/common/mysql/data/mysqld.log
- Apache: /opt/aspera/common/apache/logs/
Note: The Faspex logs also include logging for the stats collector service. If you are
encountering issues with updating transfer statuses in Faspex (for example, though a
transfer has finished, Faspex still considers it to be uploading) the issue may be
related to stats collector.
Faspex Apache Logs
The Faspex Apache log folder contains the
following files:
- access_log
- error_log
- ssl_access_log
- ssl_error_log
- ssl_request_log
Apache's log files are not automatically deleted. If you would like to remove old
logs, it is recommended that you create a
cron job to do so.
For example,
to remove Apache log files that are 30 days or older, run the following
command:
# find /opt/aspera/common/apache/logs -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;
You
can use the following commands to configure the Faspex Apache's log
settings:
Setting |
Command |
Specify Apache log level (error level) |
$ asctl apache:log_level error
|
Enable Apache log (set to notice) |
$ asctl apache:enable_logs
|
Disable Apache log (set to emerg level) |
$ asctl apache:disable_logs
|
Transfer logs are recorded into the system log file in the following
location:
Platform |
Path |
RedHat |
/var/log/messages |
Debian |
/var/log/syslog |
Important: Older log files are saved as the same file name, with an
incremental number attached (for example, ascmd.0.log).
