USB drive and accessing Log(s)

OK for a nubie, is SSH the only way to access the logs and where/what type of logs are there? I seem to find snippets of Log information throughout the forums but am having great difficulty accessing and inturpet (sic) them, any steer to a good write up or explaination for those of us still on the ground trying to climb the learing tree would be greatly appriceicated.

The logs are pretty much what is going on at the back end of vera. They are what we call the LuaUPnP.log. This is the real meat of the logs and will pretty much tell you what vera is doing. The only way to access the logs is via ssh. The password to gain access to vera via ssh is printed on the bottom of your unit if you have a vera2.

garrettwp thanxs for the come back. I’ve been able to SSH into my controller, however I’m at a loss as to where to navigate/what commands to execute. Once one finds said logs is there a ready reference as to the specifics of what the log has captured and which ones have significance to be used. Can one take the USB drive and open the logs with some type of other browser? Mike

You’ll find a bunch of commands and reference info here:

JOD.

Thanxs JOD, I will imerse myself… :-\

The usb drive is mounted as an ext3 partition. This can be accessed using another linux box. You best bet is to look at the logs on vera or transfer them via scp.
