Event log reference

The events log tracks state changes and the execution of basic configuration steps, serving as a timeline for your MAAS machines. A simple view of the events log might look something like this:

  Time                          Event
  Sun, 04 Oct. 2020 23:12:35    Ready
  Sun, 04 Oct. 2020 23:12:31    Running test - smartctl-validate on sda
  Sun, 04 Oct. 2020 23:10:37    Gathering information

To view the raw Events log, enter the following command:

maas $PROFILE events query

You can tabulate the results, sorted by machine, with the following command:

``` maas admin events query | jq -r ‘([“HOSTNAME”,”TIMESTAMP”,”TYPE”,”DESCRIPTION”] | (., map(length*”-“))), (.events[] | [.hostname, .created, .type, .description // “-“]) | @tsv’ | column -t -s $’\t’
