Reading Logs
Launcher runs as a daemon under your init system, and logs to stdout and stderr. Most modern linux systems are using systemd, and logs may be examined with the journalctl command. You can retrieve logs with
journalctl -r "SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=launcher"Debug Mode
Launcher can be configured to log with various information levels. When working with Kolide, you may be asked to enable debug mode. You can do this by running the following command in a terminal window. It needs root permission, and will prompt you for your password.
sudo pkill -SIGUSR2 -f /usr/local/kolide-k2/bin/launcherdebug mode can be turned off by running that same command.
