When testing or troubleshooting onboarding on eLux 7, it can be useful to observe log output in real time. Because the workflow differs from RP6, the following steps outline how to use the firstconfiguration wizard together with live log monitoring:

• Activate Terminal programs fpm under the Desktop environment epm

• Create a new USB stick and install Recovery on the device

• After installation, create three separate xterm applications:

  • one for firstconfiguration.log

  • one for eluxd.log

  • one for running the firstconfiguration command

• Reboot the device and run it as unmanaged

• Open one xterm and run: firstconfiguration

• The default onboarding screen will appear

• Enter the Scout address

• An error message should appear

• Select: “Without management, configuration and updates”

• Open another xterm and run:

  • tail -f /tmp/firstconfiguration.log

  • and/or tail -f /tmp/eluxd.log

• Log entries will now be displayed in real time

• You can repeat the onboarding process as many times as needed

• The file firstconfiguration.log can also be opened directly from /tmp/ using File Manager or Text Editor

• Note: If the device successfully onboards, firstconfiguration.log will no longer be available

On eLux 7, the behavior of the tail -f command differs from RP6. This article explains how to run the firstconfiguration wizard while simultaneously monitoring logs using tail -f in separate xterm sessions.
