Troubleshooting

Tips for diagnosing issues with your local DCM deployment.

Viewing Container Logs

To view logs for a specific service:

podman-compose logs <service-name>

For example, to check the control-plane logs:

podman-compose logs control-plane

Available service names: control-plane, postgres, nats, dcm-ui, kubevirt-service-provider.

Follow Logs in Real Time

Use the -f flag to stream logs as they are produced:

podman-compose logs -f control-plane

Limit Log Output

To show only the last N lines:

podman-compose logs --tail 50 control-plane

Checking Container Status

To see which containers are running and their current state:

podman-compose ps

Restarting a Service

If a service is unhealthy or not responding:

podman-compose restart <service-name>
