query slave log location?

Deadline
1

Hi there,

There is a way to query the short log from the api using:

Slaves.GetSlaveReports()

and a way to get the contents of ALL slave reports:

Slaves.GetSlaveReportsContents()

But i could not find a way to simply figure out where the log files live for a particular slave. Could you guys point me in the right direction?
In particular, looking for these entries - organized by slaves:

\inferno2\deadline\repository8\reports\slaves\01\1\56b171a23284a335683f2011.bz2

(we are aggregating reports for statistics purposes, and would need to be able to do finer control than simply getting all logs at once)

cheers

A far as I know you won’t find them in repository. The slave logs are stored on each node separately.

As long as the job is still on the farm, then we found going through the rest api, gave us the quickest way to get at this data:

	#parse url() does the following:
	#response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
        data = json.load(response)
	# 
	idx = 0
	# so you will want something like this if you have events that runs on a job or task event, as they will show up here
        if not include_events:
            # now we need to find the first index, that is not an event log
            get_url = "http://{0}:8080/api/taskreports?Data=all&JobID={1}&TaskID={2}".format(webservicesnode,
                                                                                                        jobid, taskid)
            result = self.parse_url(get_url)
            
            if result:
                idx = 0
                # go throught tasks from newest to last
                for log_d in result:
                    if self.debug: print 'result line::',log_d
                    if not 'Event Log' in log_d.get('Title'):
                        #only break out if we are no longer a event line
                        break
                    idx = idx + 1

                log_result = idx
        #
        get_url = "http://{0}:8080/api/taskreports?Data=alllogcontents&JobID={1}&TaskID={2}".format(webservicesnode, jobid, taskid)
        result = self.parse_url(get_url)
        # this is a list
        #print 'result:',pprint(result)
        # the first entry is the most recent
        if not len(result) == 0:

            last_log = result[log_result]
            # do stuff with the log here

If anyone has a faster way to do this im all ears.

Cheers

Boop:

job_id = " <job id goodness> "
reports = RepositoryUtils.GetJobReports(job_id)
for report in reports:
    report = RepositoryUtils.GetJobReportLogFileName(report)
    print("Your report is here: {0}".format(report))

Written by hand, may not quite parse properly. :stuck_out_tongue:

These are for the Job logs, I was asking about the Slave logs. The ones you find here:

repository\reports\slaves\

Ya drive a hard bargain amigo. Here you go:

slave_name = " <some slave name> "
reports = RepositoryUtils.GetSlaveReports(slave_name).GetSlaveReports() // Yeah, the repetition is a thing
for report in reports:
    report = RepositoryUtils.GetSlaveReportLogFileName(report)
    print("Your report is here: {0}".format(report))
