Debugging from the DC/OS UI

Using the DC/OS UI for debugging

You can debug your service or pod from the DC/OS UI.

Service and Pod Health and Status Summaries

The Services > Services page lists each service or pod, the resources it has requested, and its status. Possible statuses are Deploying, Waiting, or Running.

Figure 1 - DC/OS Services page

If you have added a Marathon health check to your service or pod, the Status field on the DC/OS dashboard will report the health of your service or pod. If you have set up a Marathon health check, you can also see the health of your service or pod: a green dot for healthy and a red dot for unhealthy, or a yellow warning signal if there is an issue. If you have not set up a health check, the dot will be gray.

Debug Tab

To reveal a detailed debugging page, click the name of a service or pod and then the Debug tab. There, you will see sections for Last Changes, Last Task Failure, Task Statistics, Recent Resource Offers. You will also see a Summary of resource offers and what percentage of those offers matched your pod or service’s requirements, as well as a Details section that lists the host where your service or pod is running and which resource offers were successful and unsuccessful for each deployment. You can use the information on this page to learn where and how you need to modify your service or pod definition.

Example

In the following figure, Marathon has failed to launch a service; the Services > Debug tab displays a warning message. A pop-up message states that the error has cleared and that the service is now launching.
