You can use the VM console logs to\ntroubleshoot and diagnose problems in your cluster.\n\nBefore you begin\n\nTo complete this document, you need access to the following resources:\n\n- A VM that runs in one of your clusters. If needed, [create a VM in Google Distributed Cloud](/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/bare-metal/docs/vm-runtime/quickstart).\n- The `virtctl` client tool installed as a plugin for `kubectl`. If needed, [install the virtctl client tool](/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/bare-metal/docs/vm-runtime/quickstart#install_the_virtctl_client_tool).\n\nConnect to VM\n\nTo make sure there are logs to review, connect to your VM and generate some log\nactivity.\n\n1. To access a VM from the console, use `kubectl`:\n\n kubectl virt console \u003cvar label=\"name\" translate=\"no\"\u003eVM_NAME\u003c/var\u003e\n\n Replace \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eVM_NAME\u003c/var\u003e with the name of the VM that you want to\n connect to.\n2. When prompted, enter the user credentials you specified when you created the\n VM.\n\n3. Run a command to check for updates, such as `apt-get` for Debian-based VMs\n or `yum check-update` for Red Hat-based VMs.\n\n Debian-based \n\n apt-get update\n\n Red Hat-based \n\n yum check-update\n\n4. After you have successfully generated some console log activity, exit the VM\n session and console:\n\n Ctrl + ]\n\nView VM console logs\n\nYou view VM console logs in the Google Cloud console. VM serial console logs\nare streamed to Cloud Logging and can be viewed in Logs Explorer. VMs\nthat run using VM Runtime on GDC are classed as containers in the\nconsole logs.\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Logs Explorer** page in the\n **Logging** menu.\n\n [Go to Logs Explorer](https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/query)\n2. In the **Query** field, enter the following basic query:\n\n resource.type=\"k8s_container\"\n resource.labels.container_name=\"log\"\n\n3. The **Query results** window shows the output of the console logs from\n your VMs, as shown in the following example screenshot:\n\n4. You can further filter the results of your query to a particular VM by adding\n the cluster name and the name of the VM to your query:\n\n resource.type=\"k8s_container\"\n resource.labels.container_name=\"log\"\n resource.labels.cluster_name=\"\u003cvar label=\"name of your cluster containing the VM\" translate=\"no\"\u003eCLUSTER_NAME\u003c/var\u003e\"\n labels.k8s-pod/kubevirt/vm=\"\u003cvar label=\"name of your VM\" translate=\"no\"\u003eVM_NAME\u003c/var\u003e\"\n\n Replace the following:\n - \u003cvar scope=\"CLUSTER_NAME\" translate=\"no\"\u003eCLUSTER_NAME\u003c/var\u003e: the name of the cluster that contains your VM.\n - \u003cvar scope=\"VM_NAME\" translate=\"no\"\u003eVM_NAME\u003c/var\u003e: the name of your VM.\n\nWhat's next\n\n- To learn more about how to filter your console logs, see [Build queries in Logs Explorer](/logging/docs/view/building-queries)."]]
