To find the meter log file

The location of the logs vary depending on your operating system and configuration.

For Linux and Unix environments, TrueSight Intelligence writes to the local syslog using the standard LOG_DAEMON facility. To see TrueSight Intelligence specific entries, run one of the following commands depending on your platform:

  • Centos/Red Hat: tail -f /var/log/messages | grep truesight
  • Debian: tail -f /var/log/messages | grep truesight
  • Ubuntu: tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep truesight

When running on Microsoft Windows, the TrueSight Intelligence meter writes to an Application event log called TrueSight. For installer specific errors, please check the Windows Event Viewer.
