Triaging the cause of failure
------------------------------
-To triage a job failure, open the teuthology log for it using either the job
-name or the job id (from the pulpito page):
+When a job fails, you will need to read its teuthology log in order to triage
+the cause of its failure. Use the job's name and id from pulpito to locate your
+failed job's teuthology log::
http://qa-proxy.ceph.com/<job-name>/<job-id>/teuthology.log
-Open the log file:
+Open the log file::
/a/<job-name>/<job-id>/teuthology.log
-for example in our case::
+For example:
- nano /a/teuthology-2021-01-06_07:01:02-rados-master-distro-basic-smithi/5759282/teuthology.log
+ .. prompt:: bash $
-A job failure is recorded in the teuthology log as a Traceback and is
+ nano /a/teuthology-2021-01-06_07:01:02-rados-master-distro-basic-smithi/5759282/teuthology.log
+
+Every job failure is recorded in the teuthology log as a Traceback and is
added to the job summary.
-To analyze a job failure, locate the ``Traceback`` keyword and examine the call
-stack and logs for issues that caused the failure. Usually the traceback
-will include the command that failed.
+Find the ``Traceback`` keyword and search the call stack and the logs for
+issues that caused the failure. Usually the traceback will include the command
+that failed.
-.. note:: the teuthology logs are deleted every once in a while, if you are
- unable to access example link, please feel free to refer any other
- case from http://pulpito.front.sepia.ceph.com/
+.. note:: The teuthology logs are deleted from time to time. If you are unable
