Pulse log window not appearing

Hello,

I have two Deadline repos set up, one locally on my workstation and one on an EC2 instance. On my workstation, I can click the Open Pulse Log button in Pulse and it obliges me by showing me the log.

On the EC2, clicking that does nothing, much like Mr. Wolfcastle’s goggles. I can work around it by running ‘tail’ (get-content, in Powershell) on the log on disk, but it lacks the attractive colouring when I add self.LogInfo to (for example) the Housecleaning event. It also requires a manual step to connect to the log.

I’m using 10.1.20.3, my local workstation is Win10, the EC2 instance is Windows Server 2022 Datacenter.

I attempted to view the logs in the Deadline Monitor’s “Console” window, and it assures me it is connecting to the Pulse log, but I get no output other than the “Connecting to Pulse Log XXX” message.

Note that I’m deliberately NOT using workers to run Housecleaning, as I need to ensure the housecleaning runs only on a specific machine (the Pulse machine).

I’m not sure how to diagnose the failure of the log window to appear :face_exhaling: any help is appreciated!

Cheers,

Peter B

I just discovered deadlinecommand connectToPulseLog XXX True which does give me the window, decent workaround.

EDIT: I take it back, it worked once and now doesn’t show the window :frowning:
