dicer instance logs

dicer instance logs

Show an instance’s console output

Synopsis

Shows the guest’s serial console: the kernel’s boot messages, dicer-init’s, and whatever the workload writes to the console. It is kept with the instance, so it can be read after a stop to explain one.

Use –source hypervisor for the VMM’s own log, which explains a guest that never got as far as booting. That one is discarded when the instance stops.

  -D, --debug              Trace every call to the daemon on stderr (or set $DICER_DEBUG)
  -r, --remote string      Daemon to talk to: a remote's name, or an address (unix:///PATH or HOST:PORT) (default $DICER_REMOTE, then the current remote, then local)
      --timeout duration   Give up on a call to the daemon after this long, e.g. 30s (0: never; streams such as logs -f and exec are not bounded)
