Debugging Tools#

Skyplane has built-in tools for debugging during development.

Logs#

Client Logs#

When you run a transfer, the client logs will be written to a folder inside of the /tmp/skyplane/transfer_logs/ directory.

Gateway Logs#

Inside the client.log file, for each provisioned Skyplane gateway there will be the lines:

[INFO]     Log viewer: http://127.0.0.1:[PORT]/container/[CONTAINER_ID] 
[INFO]     API: http://127.0.0.1:[PORT]

which correspond to the gateway log viewer and the gateway chunk API. You can view the logs for each gateway by going to the “Log viewer” address for that gateway.

Chunk API#

The gateway chunk API allows for status of chunks on each gateway to be queried externally, and is used by the Skyplane client to monitor transfers.

    * GET /api/v1/status - returns status of API
    * GET /api/v1/servers - returns list of running servers
    * GET /api/v1/chunk_requests - returns list of chunk requests (use {'state': '<state>'} to filter)
    * GET /api/v1/chunk_requests/<int:chunk_id> - returns chunk request
    * POST /api/v1/chunk_requests - adds a new chunk request
    * PUT /api/v1/chunk_requests/<int:chunk_id> - updates chunk request
    * GET /api/v1/chunk_status_log - returns list of chunk status log entries

Gateway ssh#

You can ssh into a gateway with:

skyplane ssh

which will list available gateways that you can select to ssh into.

Once you’ve ssh-ed into a gateway instance, you can interact with the Skyplane docker image (??).
