installation progress from log

Hi,

You can check error.log

Dear Jose,

++ To Arun's Answer,

Grep in log "[Workflow Starter Thread] com.adobe.granite.workflow.core.launcher.WorkflowLauncherListener Startup finished, workflow queue processing starting" once this message get's printed it means that your instace is ready to process your requests.

Additionally, AEM Community has not been sleeping for the past few years of DevOps activity, there are plenty of automation's already available as open source projects[0], community does it in a slightly different way, simply make request to health servlet and wait until it becomes actives or wait for process specific state as reported by services, please do check examples for reference implementations:

Hi guys,

Thanks for replying. Just to clarify, I already knew how to check if my AEM instance is up and running. What I'm asking is rather how to check the progress of the installation in the logs, kinda like what you see on the pop up when you run aem with the -gui option.

Something that would allow me to read a percentage % progress on the overall installation. I thought perhaps there would be something in the logs, but so far I haven't been able to find any information in the logs that would allow me to determine the installation progress (percentage %).

If it's not in the logs, is it recorded or reported somewhere else?

Thanks again for your ideas!

Hello,

AEM operates on the basis of bundles and the progress of AEM install can be measured based on the STARTLEVEL reached for those bundles.

The STARTLEVEL ranges from 1 to 30 and messages such as the following can help give you an understanding of how far AEM is along the installation process. And then you'd see a message stating Startup finished in certain number of seconds confirming the 100% install.

08.10.2018 13:26:38.763 *INFO* [FelixDispatchQueue] org.apache.felix.framework FrameworkEvent STARTLEVEL CHANGED to 11
08.10.2018 13:29:44.274 *INFO* [FelixDispatchQueue] org.apache.felix.framework FrameworkEvent STARTLEVEL CHANGED to 30
08.10.2018 13:29:44.274 *INFO* [FelixDispatchQueue] org.apache.felix.framework Startup finished in 203461ms

I'd go by getting this %age by taking the <STARTLEVEL reached>/30

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Aneet Arora

Hi Aneet,

Thanks! That's a very useful response. One more question. Is there a way to get the maximum number of STARTLEVELs from some config file? I was trying to find some documentation on this but didn't find any.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks Jörg!

One more quick question. The progress bar on the pop up window when you run AEM with "-gui", do you happen to know how it calculates the progress?

I don't know. But I would assume that it's more a hack than an elegant solution :-)
