Practice Lab: JFrog Troubleshooting [LAB-505]

This lab guides you through analyzing a JFrog Artifactory support bundle to diagnose the problem, trace errors across multiple log files, and develop a clear, actionable solution. Sharpen your diagnostic skills and master the techniques needed to rapidly resolve complex issues in a production environment.

Course Level: Intermediate

Upon completing this lab, you'll be able to:

• Support Bundle Analysis: Deconstruct a JFrog support bundle, navigate its microservice-specific directories, and extract key log files for investigation.
• Efficient Log Filtering: Master command-line tools like grep and less to quickly search for error codes, API endpoints, and keywords within large log files.
• Comprehensive Error Tracing: Understand how to use unique thread IDs to trace a single request across multiple log files (request, access, service) and pinpoint the root cause of an error.
• Interpreting Artifactory Errors: Identify and understand critical Artifactory service errors, such as "Binary provider has no content," and grasp their significance.
• Formulating Recovery Plans: Devise effective solutions based on your log analysis, such as recommending the restoration of a missing binary from a backup to resolve data integrity issues.

Requirements - To get the most out of this lab, you should have: 

• Basic command-line proficiency (familiarity with grep, cd, mkdir, less).
• A fundamental understanding of log files and their purpose in software systems.
• Basic familiarity with JFrog Artifactory and Docker concepts is beneficial.
