To View Job Log

When a job is done, either on success or failure, you can see the log of actions for all tasks of the job on the selected host. Each host may have a different log for the same job.

1. Make sure the Jobs panel of the main window is available. From the View menu, choose Jobs.

2. From the Jobs list, select a job.

   The tasks of the job appear in the Tasks list.

3. From the Tasks list, select a task.

   The hosts running this task appear in the Hosts list of the Jobs panel.

4. Select a host.

5. Open the Job Log. Do one of the following:

   • From the tool bar, click the Job Log button.

   • Right-click the selected host and choose Show Log.

   • From the Jobs menu, choose Hosts -> Show Log.

     The Job Log window opens.

     The Job Log shows each phase and whether it started and finished successfully. If there are any errors, they are listed.

     To send the log to technical support, click Save As, save the log on the console machine, and email it with all relevant details.

   If the failure reason is User request, run the job again with different Confirmation answers or a different Policy. This error indicates that you denied actions that were necessary to the success of the job.
