Locating problem information in the log

Use the "Report" panel to find out the cause of an error that occurred during a host task.

Perform these steps to locate error information in a report:

  1. Display the task report in the Report panel.
  2. Scroll to the end of the report.
  3. Searching bottom upwards, find the first entry that says "Requested service:" and has a red error icon and text "Error" next to it.
  4. Expand the requested service instance entry by double-clicking its symbol or by clicking the '+' next to the symbol.
  5. Find the last processed request that failed
  6. Find the last message in the list of messages. The last message gives you the original error and information on how to proceed.

Tip: You can also look at the report directly on the host. To find out the HFS directory where it is located check the system property sheet.
