5.1 Logs

Git MultiSite has two sets of logs, one set is used for application, the other logs replication activity:

Application Logs

<install-dir>/git-multisite/logs

These logs are used for troubleshooting problems with MultiSite's running:

5.10. Performing a Synchronized Stop

The Synchronized Stop is used to stop replication between repository replicas, it can be performed on a per-repository basis or on a replication group basis (where replication will be stopped for all associated repositories). Stops are synchronized between nodes using a 'stop' proposal to which all nodes need to agree. So that while not all nodes will come to a stop at the same time they do all stop at the same point.

Login to a node's browser-based UI and click on the Repositories tab. Click on the repository that you wish to stop replicating.
With the repository selected, click the Sync Stop button. A growl message will appear to confirm that a synchronized stop has been requested. Note that the process may not be completed immediately, especially if there are large proposals transfering over a WAN link.
On refreshing the screen you will see that a successfully sync stopped repository will have a status of Stopped and will be Local RO (Locally Read-only) at all nodes.

5.11. Performaing a Synchronized Start

Restarting replication after performing a Synchronized Stop requires that the stopped replication be started in a synchronized manner.

Click on a stopped repository and click on the Sync Start button.
The repository will stop being Local Read-only on all nodes and will restart replicating again.
