[ovirt-users] Re: OVA Export to local storage failes

Thank you. Yes, for me, a lot of the unknowns is simply identifying which log files I need to look at, and where. I see 3 log files in the ovirt-engine/ova/ directory for a single export task: [root@ovirt-engine1 ova]# pwd /var/log/ovirt-engine/ova [root@ovirt-engine1 ova]# ls -la | grep "2ee56518741d.log" -rw-r--r--. 1 ovirt ovirt 16500 Aug 21 20:34 ovirt-export-ova-ansible-20210821203427-cha2-storage.mgt.example.com-f1e24123-7aa4-4398-96dd-2ee56518741d.log -rw-r--r--. 1 ovirt ovirt 8680 Aug 21 20:33 ovirt-export-ova-validate-ansible-20210821203346-cha2-storage.mgt.example.com-f1e24123-7aa4-4398-96dd-2ee56518741d.log -rw-r--r--. 1 ovirt ovirt 3238 Aug 21 20:34 ovirt-image-measure-ansible-20210821203417-cha2-storage.mgt.example.com-f1e24123-7aa4-4398-96dd-2ee56518741d.log As this is a lot of data, should I include it in the email, or would it be better to put it into pastebin or provide a link to access these files?
