Operators
---------
To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Freezer, consult the
documentation available online at:
- `OpenStack Freezer <https://docs.openstack.org/freezer/latest/>`__
In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to
the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party
operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for
reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker,
available at:
- `Bug Tracker <https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/openstack/freezer>`__
Troubleshooting
---------------
When errors occure, these are good places to check:
* freezer-api log: `$HOME/log/freezer-api.log`
`/var/log/apache2/freezer-api.log`
* freezer-agent log: `$HOME/.freezer/freezer.log`
* freezer-scheduler log:`/var/log/freezer/scheduler.log`
Developers
----------
Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst
file and OpenStack general development guidelines, and pass all unit tests.
Further developer focused documentation is available at:
