How can I check Oozie logs


If you are looking for a command line way to do this, you can run the following:

oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000 -info <wfid>oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000 -log <wfid>

If you have the $OOZIE_URL set, then you do not need the -oozie parm in the above statements. This first command will show you the status of the job and each action. The second command will dig into the oozie log and display the part in the log that pertains to the workflow id that was passed in.


cd /var/log/oozie/ls 

You should see the log file there.


I highly recommend using the oozie webconsole when new to oozie. If you are using Cloudera it's under "Enabling the Oozie Web Console" here http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera-content/cloudera-docs/CDH4/latest/CDH4-Installation-Guide/cdh4ig_topic_17_6.html for CDH4. CDH3 link is similar.

Also the jobid is printed when you submit the job.
