+<h1>Guide to Devstack Gate Logs</h1>
+<p>
+  Above is a collection of log files from
+  the <a href="../console.html">current tempest run</a>. Within them
+  should be everything you need to get to the bottom of a test
+  failure. The screen-* logs will be your most valuable tools in this
+  process. Use the timestamp of the failed test in
+  the <a href="../console.html">current tempest run</a>.

+<h2>Nova Compute Fails</h2>
+<p>
+  If there is a compute test failure, especially a server not getting
+  created correctly, or being in an unexpected state, the following is
+  typically the most fruitful order to look at things:
+<ul>
+  <li><a href="screen-n-api.txt.gz">screen-n-api.txt.gz</a> - the nova
+    api log, which will show top level failures. Make sure the request
+    that was being sent in actually succeeded.
+  <li><a href="screen-n-cpu.txt.gz">screen-n-cpu.txt.gz</a> - the nova
+    compute log. If a libvirt or qemu issue happened during guest
+    creation it will be here.
+  <li><a href="screen-n-sch.txt.gz">screen-n-sch.txt.gz</a> - the nova
+    scheduler. Some times there are races in allocating resources, and
+    the scheduler will throw a WARNING if it couldn't allocate the
+    requested resources.
+  <li>all other nova logs
+</ul>
+<h2>Cinder Volume Fails</h2>
+<p>
+  If there is a volume failure in the test, the following is typically
+  the most fruitful order to look at things:
+  <ul>
+    <li><a href="screen-c-api.txt.gz">screen-c-api.txt.gz</a> - the
+      cinder api log, which will show top level failures. Make sure
+      the request that was being sent in actually succeeded.
+    <li><a href="screen-c-vol.txt.gz">screen-c-vol.txt.gz</a> - the
+      cinder agent log. If there was a local allocation error it will be
+      here.
+    <li><a href="screen-c-sch.txt.gz">screen-c-sch.txt.gz</a> - the
+      cinder scheduler. Some times there are races in allocating
+      resources, and the scheduler will throw a WARNING if it couldn't
+      allocate the requested resources.

+<h1>Guide to Tempest Results Runs</h1>
+<p>
+  You are looking at the full test results of a devstack setup and
+  tempest run for the OpenStack gate, as well as all the logs of all the
+  relevant services that were running during that tempest test run. From
+  them you should have enough information to debug.
+</p>
+<h2>How To Debug - Quickstart</h2>
+<p>
+  <ol>
+    <li>scroll to the end of console.html
+    <li>work your way backwards until the first failing test
+    <li>copy the timestamp of that failing test
+    <li>go into logs directory and look at that time stamp in related
+    service logs for traces, failures, or other oddities
+  </ol>
+</p>
+<h2>File Overview</h2>
+<h3>console.html</h3>
+This file contains the stdout/stderr console of the devstack-gate
+job. The basic flow of the file goes as follows:
+<ul>
+  <li>Boot guest from base Linux image
+  <li>Use devstack to install all required packages (debs and pips)
+  <li>Use devstack to setup all the services from upstream master except
+    for the particular project being tested, which is pulled from
+    gerrit.
+  <li>Run devstack exercises (very basic sanity checking)
+  <li>Run tempest tests
+</ul>
+<p>
+  All the devstack setup is done under bash tracing, so
+  is <b>extremely</b> verbose. This is to ensure enough data is captured
+  so that you can debug failures in the gate with the information provided.
+</p>
+<p>
+  The tempest tests are the last 1% of the console.html. When looking
+  at failures it is typical best to start at the end of the file and
+  work backwards.
+</p>
+<h3>logs</h3>
+<p>
+  The <a href="logs">logs</a> directory contains all the screen logs
+  from all the services during the devstack-gate run.
