The way xcatprobe tests logging into /var/log/xcat/cluster.log is to issue:
"logger -p local4.info -t xcat $log_msg on MN 2>&1"
and then "grep" for the $log_msg in /var/log/xcat/cluster.log
If "grep" can not find that string, the message you are seeing is issued.
Perhaps the "logger" on your system is not setup to log messages with "-t
xcat" into the /var/log/xcat/cluster.log
Check if there is /etc/rsyslog.d/xcat-cluster.conf file on your system. It
should contain something like:
$template xCATTraditionalFormat0,"%timegenerated% %HOSTNAME% %syslogtag%
%syslogseverity-text:::uppercase% %msg:::drop-last-lf%\n"
:programname, isequal,
"xcat" /var/log/xcat/cluster.log;xCATTraditionalFormat0
:programname, startswith,
"xcat." /var/log/xcat/cluster.log;xCATTraditionalFormat0

Hello Mark Gurevich
Yes, the log is accessible, I am running the “xcatprobe” as root…..and
there is enough space.
The MN node is running Ubuntu 18.04, just an fyi.

Check if the user running "xcatprobe" can access "/var/log/xcat/cluster.log
" file and if there is enough disk space.
