Logs And Notifications


ZEVO will log important events to the kernel log and to the Growl Notification framework. As an additional diagnostic step, you can examine the kernel log file using the Console application.

Log Files

  1. Launch the Console application
  2. Select New Log Window
  3. In the new window, select Show Log List
  4. Under the /private/var/log entry select kernel.log (system.log in 10.8)
  5. You can use the window’s Filter to narrow the results using “zfs” as the search string

Growl

You can also get UI notifications directly if you have Growl installed. With Growl you can receive simple, non-invasive notifications regarding your ZEVO storage. You can customize the notifications for each of the 4 ZEVO notification categories using the Growl’s preferences as shown below. The current notifications are:

  • Physical Disk Errors and Failures
  • Storage Pool Events (Create, Destroy, Import and Export)
  • Storage Pool Health
  • Storage Pool Scans (Scrubs and Resilvering)
