2. How to check for reports?

There are a few things that you should verify before checking for reports or logs:

  • Verify the pod is in a completed state(This ensures that there was no error when the pod ran)

  • Check for logs in the pod(This should show some values)

Once these 2 checks are done you can connect to a pod by either an OpenShift terminal or by port forwarding the pod. The PSQL DB should have 3 log tables and 1 reports_human table which will be populated with data.
