Downloading Logs

Accessing Logs

Depending on whether you are using Hadoop with H2O and whether the job is currently running, there are different ways of obtaining the logs for H2O.

Copy and email the logs to support@h2o.ai or submit them to h2ostream@googlegroups.com with a brief description of your Hadoop environment, including the Hadoop distribution and version.

Without Running Jobs

  • If you are using Hadoop and the job is not running, view the logs by using the yarn logs -applicationId command. When you start an H2O instance, the complete command displays in the output:
    jessica@mr-0x8:~/h2o-3.1.0.3008-cdh5.2$ hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -nodes 1 -mapperXmx 6g -output hdfsOutputDirName

In the above example, the command is specified in the next to last line (For YARN users, logs command is...). The command is unique for each instance. In Terminal, enter yarn logs -applicationId application_<UniqueID> to view the logs (where <UniqueID> is the number specified in the next to last line of the output that displayed when you created the cluster).

Use YARN to obtain the stdout and stderr logs that are used for troubleshooting. To learn how to access YARN based on management software, version, and job status, see Accessing YARN.

  1. Click the Applications link to view all jobs, then click the History link for the job.

    Application History

  2. Click the logs link.

  3. Copy the information that displays and send it in an email to support@h2o.ai.

With Running Jobs

If you are using Hadoop and the job is still running:

  • Use YARN to obtain the stdout and stderr logs that are used for troubleshooting. To learn how to access YARN based on management software, version, and job status, see Accessing YARN.

  1. Click the Applications link to view all jobs, then click the ApplicationMaster link for the job.

    YARN - Application Master

  2. Select the job from the list of active jobs.

    YARN - Application Master

  3. Click the logs link.

    YARN - Application Master

  4. Send the contents of the displayed files to support@h2o.ai.

  • Go to the H2O web UI and select Admin > View Log. To filter the results select a node or log file type from the drop-down menus. To download the logs, click the Download Logs button.

    When you view the log, the output displays the location of log directory after Log dir: (as shown in the last line in the following example):

  • Download the logs using R. In R, enter the command h2o.downloadAllLogs(filename = "logs.zip") (where filename is the specified filename for the logs).

Accessing YARN

Methods for accessing YARN vary depending on the default management software and version, as well as job status.

Cloudera 5 & 5.2

For Non-Hadoop Users

Without Current Jobs

If you are not using Hadoop and the job is not running:

  • In Terminal, enter cd /tmp/h2o-<UserName>/h2ologs (where <UserName> is your computer user name), then enter ls -l to view a list of the log files.

    The httpd log contains the request/response status of all REST API transactions. The rest of the logs use the format h2o_<IPaddress>_<Port>-<LogLevel>-<LogLevelName>.log, where:

    • <IPaddress> is the bind address of the H2O instance
    • <Port> is the port number
    • <LogLevel> is the numerical log level (1-6, with 6 as the highest severity level)
    • <LogLevelName> is the name of the log level (trace, debug, info, warn, error, or fatal).

With Current Jobs

If you are not using Hadoop and the job is still running:

  • Go to the H2O web UI and select Admin > Inspect Log or go to http://localhost:54321/LogView.html.

    To download the logs, click the Download Logs button.

    When you view the log, the output displays the location of log directory after Log dir: (as shown in the last line in the following example):
