Overview

The general technique is to increase the logging level of various OpenShift master (api, controllers) and node processes as described here:

Change the Log Level for OpenShift Processes

--loglevel=10 seems to work fine.

Then tail the journalctl log. More details on getting logging information:

Troubleshooting Pods

oc -n <project-name> get pods
oc -n <project-name> describe po/<pod-name>

...
Name:			logging-fluentd-3kz30
...
Node:			node2/
...
Status:			Failed
Reason:			MatchNodeSelector
Message:		Pod Predicate MatchNodeSelector failed

In-line pod logs:

oc logs -f <pod-name>

Connect to a pod:

oc rsh <pod-name>

Connect to a Pod as Root

Log into the physical node running the pod. The pod - node association can be inferred executing

oc describe <pod-name> 

and extracting the "Node:" value.

On the node, run

docker ps

and identify the container ID.

Then

 docker exec -u 0 -it 3152a2509d92 /bin/bash

For more details on docker exec, see:

docker exec

As root, various diagnostic utilities can be temporarily installed:

yum install bind-utils

Copy Files into Pods
