About error logs

Error logs maintain important information about License Scheduler operations.

Tip:

Log files grow over time. These files should occasionally be cleared, (manually or using automatic scripts).

Log files are reopened each time a message is logged, so if you rename or remove a daemon log file, the daemons automatically create a new log file.

The location of log files is specified with the parameter LSF_LOGDIR in lsf.conf.

The error log file names for the LSF License Scheduler system daemons are:

  • bld.log.host_name

  • blcollect.log.host_name
