Understanding what is in the logs is an important first step. What I mean by this, is understand what all the fields in the log file mean (e.g., TID, RPC ID, Queue, Client-RPC, USER, log entry, etc.) in addition to what types of entries are written to each of the log types. Once you have this down, grep, sort, awk/sed, cat, tail, head, egrep, and other utilities make finding what you are looking for in the logs a breeze.
