Solace mqtt connection failure logs

May I know where can I find logs of failed connection attempts to Solace PubSub+ Software Message Broker? I have deployed the broker to AWS.

Thanks.

Solution

  • Do note that only under certain connection failure scenarios will logs be generated on the Broker.

    Nevertheless, here are the steps to access the logs on a Software Event Broker.

    a. Access the Solace Application Shell

    [sysadmin@solace ~]$ solacectl shell

    b. Navigate to the logs directory

    [appuser@solace ~]$ cd logs/

    Relevant log entries for the Software Event Broker can then be found in the event, system and command log files.

    Here is a breakdown of what is contained in each log file:

    a. Command log: Information about Solace PubSub+ event broker commands issued by users

    b. Event log: System-wide events, Message VPN events, local publisher, subscriber and client events

    c. System log: Subset of the Solace PubSub+ event broker event logs

    If necessary, you may refer to https://docs.solace.com/Solace-PubSub-Event-Reference/PubSub-Event-Reference.htm under "Event Reference" for all possible events that can be generated on a Solace PubSub+ event broker.
