    Troubleshooting Guide
    =====================
    
    Failures
    ========
    
    If Kolla fails, often it is caused by a CTRL-C during the deployment
    process or a problem in the ``globals.yml`` configuration.
    
    To correct the problem where Operators have a misconfigured environment, the
    Kolla community has added a precheck feature which ensures the deployment
    targets are in a state where Kolla may deploy to them. To run the prechecks,
    execute:
    
    ::
    
        kolla-ansible prechecks
    
    If a failure during deployment occurs it nearly always occurs during evaluation
    of the software. Once the Operator learns the few configuration options
    required, it is highly unlikely they will experience a failure in deployment.
    
    Deployment may be run as many times as desired, but if a failure in a
    bootstrap task occurs, a further deploy action will not correct the problem.
    In this scenario, Kolla's behavior is undefined.
    
    The fastest way during to recover from a deployment failure is to
    remove the failed deployment:
    
    ::
    
        kolla-ansible destroy -i <<inventory-file>>
    
    Any time the tags of a release change, it is possible that the container
    implementation from older versions won't match the Ansible playbooks in a new
    version. If running multinode from a registry, each node's Docker image cache
    must be refreshed with the latest images before a new deployment can occur. To
    refresh the docker cache from the local Docker registry:
    
    ::
    
        kolla-ansible pull
    
    Debugging Kolla
    ===============
    
    The status of containers after deployment can be determined on the deployment
    targets by executing:
    
    ::
    
        docker ps -a
    
    If any of the containers exited, this indicates a bug in the container. Please
    seek help by filing a `launchpad bug`_ or contacting the developers via IRC.
    
    The logs can be examined by executing:
    
    ::
    
    
        docker exec -it fluentd bash
    
    
    The logs from all services in all containers may be read from
    ``/var/log/kolla/SERVICE_NAME``
    
    If the stdout logs are needed, please run:
    
    ::
    
        docker logs <container-name>
    
    Note that most of the containers don't log to stdout so the above command will
    provide no information.
    
    To learn more about Docker command line operation please refer to `Docker
    documentation <https://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/>`__.
    
    When ``enable_central_logging`` is enabled, to view the logs in a web browser
    using Kibana, go to:
    
    ::
    
        http://<kolla_internal_vip_address>:<kibana_server_port>
        or http://<kolla_external_vip_address>:<kibana_server_port>
    
    and authenticate using ``<kibana_user>`` and ``<kibana_password>``.
    
    The values ``<kolla_internal_vip_address>``, ``<kolla_external_vip_address>``
    ``<kibana_server_port>`` and ``<kibana_user>`` can be found in
    ``<kolla_install_path>/kolla/ansible/group_vars/all.yml`` or if the default
    values are overridden, in ``/etc/kolla/globals.yml``. The value of
    ``<kibana_password>`` can be found in ``/etc/kolla/passwords.yml``.
