Accessing Service Fabric Logs

Question

Hello,

How can I access service fabric logs? Like, when the node is down, it should logged and I should be able to see those logs from the UI.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

Hello @PK - Thanks for reaching out and for being patient.

Logs can be accessed using Service Fabric Explorer. In a web browser, open Service Fabric Explorer from the cluster's management endpoint by navigating to http://mycluster.region.cloudapp.azure.com:19080/Explorer.

These logs are located on the cluster node that the container service instance is running on. As an example, get the logs of the web front-end container of the Linux Voting sample application.

In the tree view, expand Cluster>Applications>VotingType>fabric:/Voting/azurevotefront.

Then expand the partition (d1aa737e-f22a-e347-be16-eec90be24bc1, in this example) and see that the container is running on cluster node _lnxvm_0.

In the tree view, find the code package on the _lnxvm_0 node by expanding Nodes>_lnxvm_0>fabric:/Voting>azurevo

Also there is a description here on how you can setup the logging for Service Fabric.
