Overview

If you experience technical issues related to qTest OnPremise, our support team may ask you to harvest logs for qTest and/or Sessions for further investigation. Follow the instructions below, appropriate for the type of server on which qTest and Sessions are installed:

For 9.1.5 and Beyond

qtestctl for Windows and Linux (Non-Docker)

This deployment model has the same structure for Linux and Windows, to collect log, go to qtestctl folder and collect these folders:

Manager	./manager/build/tomcat/logs
Sessions	./sessions/build/sessions/logs
Insights	./insights/build/insights-etl/logs ./insights/build/tomcat/logs ./insights/build/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/ErrorLog

Along with the default folders listed above, there are dynamic log configurations inside qtest.config for specific qTest applications. Look into your qtest.config to find the actual path for those log folders.

By default, they will have these values (relative to your qtestctl folder):

Manager	./manager/logs/*
Parameters	./tdm/logs/tdm.log
Launch	./launch/build/launch/logs
Pulse	./pulse/logs/pulse.log
Scenario	n/a
Session	n/a
Insights	n/a

Linux - Docker

Find logs for all apps at /var/log/qasymphony

The default log location above can be overridden from inside your "logsdir" configuration located in ./profiles/default.in

For 8.7 to 9.0 Deployments
