Depending on your setup, here's how you can get the logs:

• For a local Fluvio installation on Mac:
  • Run cat /usr/local/var/log/fluvio/flv_sc.log for SC logs
  • Run cat /usr/local/var/log/fluvio/spu_log_XXXX.log for each SPU
    • E.g. when running 1 SPU, there will be spu_log_5001.log
• For a Fluvio installation on Minikube:
  • Run kubectl logs fluvio-sc for SC logs
  • Run kubectl logs fluvio-spg-main-X for each SPU

Environment (please complete the following information):

Hi! I originally reported this issue through fluvio discord server. I'm attaching both flv_sc.log and spu_log_XXXX.log logs.
flv_sc.log
spu_log_5001.log

It looks like we're using localhost in a number of places and it's dns is not resolving on this system. Another fluvio developer w/ Arch does not have a localhost hosts file, but their localhost does resolve.

[javihernant]

I confirm that was the issue!

Filed this issue for longer - med term improvement of defaults for this bug. #3866

[digikata]

@javihernant Thanks for confirming! Since there is a pretty straightforward workaround, I will close this issue and we'll work in a deeper resolution in 3866.
