Locating Cloudera Data Warehouse Private Cloud logs

Learn how you can access logs for Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) Private Cloud.

When you generate logs using the Collect Diagnostic Bundles option from the environment, they are written to a partition on the Hive sys.logs table and are stored in the following location on HDFS:
/warehouse/[***ENVIRONMENT-NAMEabcde***]/[***DATABASE-CATALOG***]/warehouse/tablespace/external/hive/sys.db/logs
abcde is a random 5-character string that is appended to the environment name.

These partitions are retained for 7 days by default.

  1. Log in to the OpenShift or Experiences Compute Service (ECS) cluster and determine the location of the sys.logs table by running the following query:
    DESCRIBE FORMATTED sys.logs;

    This SQL statement returns information about the location of the table which contains the logs.

  2. Use the location obtained in Step 1 to locate the CDW Private Cloud logs on the OpenShift or ECS clusters.
