Centralized Logs

If ANKA_ENABLE_CENTRAL_LOGGING is set to true in your controller and registry config, logs for all Build Cloud services will be stored in the registry’s data directory under {registryStorageLocation}/files/central-logs/.

You will find historical and current anka_agent logs from each of your nodes, the controller logs, and if applicable the registry logs.

  • On macOS: The default is /Library/Application\ Support/Veertu/Anka/registry/files/central-logs/

  • On docker: You set the storage location in your docker-compose.yml, but it will still be under {ANKA_BASE_DIR}/files/central-logs/ (default: /mnt/vol/files/central-logs/)

When a VM on a node fails, the agent and VM logs will be stored under /mnt/vol/files/logs/ under a folder inside labeled with the UUID of the VM that failed.
Important: Logs stored in the registry are NOT automatically cleaned up. You will need to perform housekeeping to remove old logs every once in a while depending on your storage size.
