Step 1. Connect to SynetoOS appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

 

Step 2. Retrieve service log file (replace <service_name> with the service name you want to investigate)

svcs -lp <service_name>

Note the value at the line "logfile" (in this case “/var/svc/log/system-filesystem-zfs-auto-snapshot:hourly-flash--datastores--it01s103.log”)

 

Step 3. Access log file contents (replace <log_file> with the value retrieved at step 2)

less <log_file>
