Su, There are rest calls implemented for seeing the issues. If its during the install you are seeing issues you can check for all the logs by calling this api:
http://<ambari-server>:8080/api/v1/clusters/<clustername>/requests/<id>?fields=tasks/* where id can be 1/2/3/4..... depending on how many times you tried the install/start. This should give you the logs for why the installation failed. If you want to open a jira for this, and upload the snapshot of what state your install is in, we can track it on the jira and also will be helpful to debug. thanks mahadev On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 1:45 AM, Su Kucherova <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > I used Ambari 1.2.1 with my 5 node cluster and i selected sqoop, pig,oozie > .For some reasons the services failed to start/install > I dont see any logs on the GUI and not many in the ambari-server.log. > > What are ways i can improvemy debugging skills with ambari. > I am looking changing log-levels..looking at specific keywords...something > to speed up > how or where do i do all that.I was expecting a GUI/config page . > > > If it is not present i was thinking of adding a REST call for that... > > > Thanks > Su
