Debugging Daemons

To activate debug mode, add debug: true in the daemon configuration file. The output will be available in the daemon’s log file.

It is also possible to run the Wazo daemon, in command line. This will allow to run in foreground and debug mode. To see how to use it, type:

xivo-{name} -h

Note that it’s usually a good idea to stop monit before running a daemon in foreground:

systemctl stop monit.service

wazo-confgend

twistd -no -u wazo-confgend -g wazo-confgend --python=/usr/bin/wazo-confgend --logger wazo_confgend.bin.daemon.twistd_logs

No debug mode in confgend.

wazo-provd

twistd -no -u wazo-provd -g wazo-provd -r epoll --logger provd.main.twistd_logs wazo-provd -s -v
  • -s for logging to stderr
  • -v for verbose

consul

sudo -u consul /usr/bin/consul agent -config-dir /etc/consul/xivo -pid-file /run/consul/consul.pid

Consul logs its output to /var/log/syslog to get the output of consul only use consul monitor:

consul monitor -ca-file=/usr/share/xivo-certs/server.crt -http-addr=https://localhost:8500
