Troubleshooting Menu

Tools on this page allow for additional troubleshooting.

View Node Logs

This utility opens the Trustgrid service logs in a text viewer in follow mode so new lines will be displayed as written to the log file.

To exit follow mode hit control + C. You can then use arrow keys to move up and down through the log file.

To return to the Troubleshooting menu hit control + C (if you haven’t already) and then input :q and hit return.

Push Node Logs

This command will attempt to zip up logs and push them up to the Trustgrid control plane. If successful these will be available in the node’s debug logs.

Force Upgrade

This command will attempt to upgrade the Trustgrid service to the latest published version.

Restart Node Service

This will restart the Trustgrid service on the node. This is faster than a full reboot but may not clear any OS related issues.

Reboot Node Hardware

This will perform a complete operating system reboot of the Trustgrid appliance.

Network Tools Shell

This will open a shell terminal that allows for running a very limited number of commands to perform troubleshooting.

These commands include:

• cat
• less
• groups
• ls
• nslookup
  • use this to confirm DNS resolution is working with a command like nslookup repo.trustgrid.io
  • or to specify a DNS server with a command like nslookup repo.trustgrid.io 8.8.8.8 which will use Google’s DNS server
• ping
• telnet - use this to confirm connectivity with a command like telnet repo.trustgrid.io 443
• traceroute
• mtr - this is a more robust version of traceroute and can be used to confirm connectivity with a command like mtr repo.trustgrid.io
• nc
  • use this to confirm connectivity with a command like nc -vz repo.trustgrid.io 443
  • or confirm connectivity with a specific gateway IP address and port with a command like `nc -vz 35.171.100.16 8443"
• openssl - this can be use to confirm a nothing is interfering with a valid TLS connection and view the certificates used with a command like openssl s_client -connect repo.trustgrid.io:443 -showcerts | less (use :q to exit)
• curl
• ip
  • ip link or ip l lists the connection status of all interfaces
  • ip address or ip a lists the IP addresses assigned to all interfaces
  • append show <interface name> to either of the above to limit to a specific interface. e.g. ip a show enp0s20f0
  • ip route lists the current OS routing table
• dig for confirming DNS resolution
  • dig repo.trustgrid.io +short will provide just the IP address using the configured DNS servers
  • dig @8.8.8.8 repo.trustgrid.io +short will query Google’s DNS server directly and provide the IP address

ARPing

This command can be used to confirm layer 2 connectivity between the Trustgrid appliance and other devices on the same network. For example, to confirm the default gateway IP address is reachable use a command like arping -I eth0 192.168.127.1. This will send an ARP request to the default gateway IP address and display the resulting MAC address.

If you do not get a response or get an unexpected MAC address then layer 2 connectivity is not working. Verify the Trustgrid node is connected the intended network and/or VLAN.
