Operators

---------



To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Freezer, consult the

documentation available online at:



- `OpenStack Freezer `__



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 `__



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:



- `Official Freezer Documentation `__

- `Official Client Documentation

  `__
