View logs in Deadline Cloud - AWS Deadline Cloud

View logs in Deadline Cloud

Logs provide you with detailed information about the status and processing of tasks. In the AWS Deadline Cloud monitor, you can see the following two types of logs:

  • Session logs detail the timeline of actions, including:

    • Setup actions, such as attachment syncing and loading the software environment

    • Running a task or set of tasks

    • Closure actions, such as shutting down the environment on a worker

    A session includes processing of at least one task, and can include multiple tasks. Session logs also show information about Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance type, vCPU, and memory. Session logs also include a link to the log for the worker used in the session.

  • Worker logs provide details for the timeline of actions that a worker processes during its lifecycle. Worker logs can contain information about multiple sessions.

You can download session and worker logs so that you can examine them offline.
