Monitor Node Console Messages

How and where console messages are logged.

The xtbootsys command automatically initiates an xtconsole session, which displays the console text of a specified node(s) or accelerator(s). The xtconsole command operates in a shell window and monitors the event router daemon (erd) for console messages. The node or accelerator ID appears at the beginning of each line. The messages are written into /var/opt/cray/log/sessionid/console-yyyymmdd where the administrator may monitor them.

The xtconsole utility may only have one concurrent instance.

For more information, see the xtconsole(8) man page.
