Logging

The agent logs to syslog. Typical entries include connection changes, agent information, program information, update activity, and errors.

You can see the logs by connecting to you device via a terminal session and running the command below.

cat /var/log/syslog

Log prefixes

Mutexer log entries use fixed prefixes to make filtering and grepping easier.

Prefix	Source
[Mutexer Agent]	Agent process
[Mutexer Updater]	Cloud updater process

To view agent entries, run:

grep '\[Mutexer Agent\]' /var/log/syslog

To view cloud updater entries, run:

grep '\[Mutexer Updater\]' /var/log/syslog

INFO

Syslog is a general system log. Use the Mutexer log prefixes to identify entries created by the agent and updater.

Increasing log detail

To capture more detail than the default info level, restart the agent in debug mode. For more information, see Command Reference.
