Collect cluster logs and metrics from nodes and microservices to troubleshoot issues and assess Crosswork cluster health and performance.


Monitor or audit Cisco Crosswork cluster components by collecting and managing periodic logs and metrics for each cluster component.

Collecting logs and metrics helps administrators track the health and performance of the Cisco Crosswork cluster, including its nodes and microservices. Use this task for troubleshooting or routine audits.

Note

Showtech logs must be collected separately for each application.

Before you begin

  • Ensure you have administrator access to Cisco Crosswork Manager.

  • Know which components (cluster, node, or microservice) you want to collect logs or metrics from.

Procedure

1.

From the main menu, select Administration > Crosswork Manager.

2.

On the Crosswork summary tab, select System summary to open cluster management.

3.

To collect logs and metrics for the entire cluster, click Actions and choose a showtech option:

  • Request all: Collect both logs and metrics.

  • Request metrics: Collect only metrics.

  • Collect logs: Collect only logs.

4.

To collect logs or metrics for a specific node:

  1. Select the node.

  2. Click Showtech options and choose a showtech operation.

To collect logs or metrics for an individual microservice on a node:

  1. Under Actions for the desired microservice, click and select a showtech operation.

6.

To view the status of showtech jobs, select Actions > View showtech jobs. Under the Action column, use menu to:

  • Publish a completed showtech log.
  • Delete a showtech log.

The system collects and displays the requested logs and metrics for your chosen cluster component. Collected showtech logs are available for audit, troubleshooting, or compliance verification.
