Issue

How to make sense of the very verbose Commander or CloudBees CD (CloudBees Flow) install log.

Environment

• CloudBees CD (CloudBees Flow)

Resolution

Install the attached tcl script.

run the following command to parse CMDR_installer.log:

tclsh parseEFInstallLog.tcl CMDR_installer.log  > parsed_CMDR_installer.log

The tcl script will filter out unnecessary information, making it much easier to analyze the output

Examples

tclsh parseEFInstallLog.tcl CMDR_installer.log  > parsed_CMDR_installer.log
