Try running something like this from the command line: logger -p local4.info -t xcat my msg on MN echo $? tail /var/log/xcat/cluster.log grep "my msg on MN" /var/log/xcat/cluster.log

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 Mark Gurevich Poughkeepsie Development Lab HPC Software Development - xCAT "If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?" --Albert Einstein Inactive hide details for Huzefa Zakir via xCAT-user ---03/16/2021 08:10:19 AM---Hello Mark Gurevich Yes, the log is accessibleHuzefa Zakir via xCAT-user ---03/16/2021 08:10:19 AM---Hello Mark Gurevich Yes, the log is accessible, I am running the “xcatprobe” as root…..and there is From: Huzefa Zakir via xCAT-user <xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net> To: xCAT Users Mailing list <xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: Huzefa Zakir <hzu...@x-iss.com> Date: 03/16/2021 08:10 AM Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [xcat-user] cluster.log is not working Hello Mark Gurevich Yes, the log is accessible, I am running the “xcatprobe” as root…..and there is enough space.
