How can I view contents of log file on APIC/Fabric nodes ?

[sarabsin]

How can i see contents of logfiles as below?

On the APIC:
/var/log/dme/log/nginx.bin.log
On fabric nodes:
/var/log/dme/log/nginx.log

when i try access file through CLI of APIC , it says permission denied to file.

APIC# more /var/log/dme/log/nginx.bin.log
/var/log/dme/log/nginx.bin.log: Permission denied
APIC# more /var/log/dme/log/nginx.bin.log
/var/log/dme/log/nginx.bin.log: Permission denied

I would verify permissions for the user you are logged in as. Definitely looks like a permission issue as you should be able to access those normally. Try using admin rights to verify.

Thank you for your reply! I changed the authentication to local and logged as local admin user and now see the logs locally on APIC.

Do you know how can I send this debug logging (

/var/log/dme/log/nginx.bin.log)

out of ACI and view it on syslog or ftp server ?

One solution would be to write a cronjob on an external server to scp the file at your configured time interval.
