### Connections to Open OnDemand

A common issue that can occur is receiving an error that the Open OnDemand page cannot be reached. Sometimes this can indicate that the service is down, but often this is an issue with the the local browser cache. You can test this by opening a private browser window and seeing if https://ood.hpc.nyu.edu will load. If it does, try deleting the cache for https://ood.hpc.nyu.edu in your browser history to resolve this issue.

### Viewing Logs
49+
50+
When problems arise one of the best ways to figure out what went wrong is to look in the logs. You can do this in two ways for OOD: from within OOD itself or via the terminal.
51+
52+
#### From within OOD
53+
54+
You can view session logs for interactive apps from within OOD if they are still visible within `Home / My Interactive Sessions`.

Just click on the `Session ID` link and a tab will open with the contents of the directory that contains your session logs.

`output.log` is probably the most informative for debugging. Simply click on `output.log` and the contents will be displayed.
63+
64+
#### From terminal
65+
66+
If your session is no longer visible from within OOD you may still be able to find your logs via the terminal. Simply [log into Greene](https://sites.google.com/nyu.edu/nyu-hpc/accessing-hpc) and `cd` to `/home/$USER/ondemand/data/sys/dashboard/batch_connect/sys/` and then `cd` into the directory for the app that you're interested in. You should find the file `output.log` there.
