 Description   

Our most common problem with people starting to use the agent is that they don't have their permissions set correctly on directories they want automation to use. It'd be great to have some info on this, and which logs to look at if you have a problem starting up automation. Perhaps in this guide : https://mms.mongodb.com/help/tutorial/getting-started-with-automation/

(As suggested in CM-967)

  • [small] The default path to log file for the automation agent is /var/log/mongodb-mms-automation/automation-agent.log
  • Yes, /var/lib/mongodb-mms-automation/mms-cluster-config-backup.json is used by the automation agent to store a backup copy of the cluster config file in case something happens to your machine or MMS in the middle of the automation agent running. This is configurable in the automation agent config file (local.config)
  • The "automation-agent.log" is the default filename for the automation agent log, and its full path is set in the automation agent config file (default is /var/log/mongodb-mms-automation/automation-agent.log)
