Troubleshooting Nautobot

Let’s look at a few ways to troubleshoot, starting with performing a health check.

Performing a health check

A quick and easy way to see if Nautobot can connect to its necessary services is to run the health_check command. The command will exit successfully (0 status) if everything goes well:

nautobot-server health_check

Here’s an example output:

DatabaseBackend          ... workingDefaultFileStorageHealthCheck ... working
RedisBackend             ... working

Please see the health check documentation for more information.

Troubleshooting the configuration

To facilitate troubleshooting and debugging settings, you can use the shell to inspect what Nautobot has parsed for them. For example, if you want to check the file Nautobot is looking for in the configuration, check the SETTINGS_PATH property:

nautobot...
