This topic provides information about BBR logging. Use this information when troubleshooting a failing BBR back up or restore.
Understand Logging
By default, BBR displays the following:
- The back up and restore scripts that it finds
- When it starts or finishes a stage, such as
pre-backup scriptsorbackup scripts - When the process is complete
- When any error occurs
BBR writes any errors associated with stack traces to a file in of the form bbr-TIMESTAMP.err.log in the current directory.
If more logging is needed, use the optional --debug flag to print the following information:
- Logs about the API requests made to the BOSH server
- All commands executed on remote instances
- All commands executed on local environment
- Standard in and standard out streams for the back up and restore scripts when they are executed
