Plugin configuration = 502 error

[Craig]

I've installed a plugin based on the instructions from the docs. It's a simple plugin that just has a single template and a view to display that template. I'm getting a 502 error whenever I try to start netbox after updating the configuration.py file to contain the name of the plugin in the list. 

I have no idea where to start to look to find the issue. The best I could find was the following, but it doesn't look very helpful.

● netbox.service - NetBox WSGI Service

Any help is appreicated.

Thanks,

Try checking your Netbox log file.  It's likely in /var/log/netbox.log.  Also check the systemd logs with journalctl -u netbox.

Thank you! I'm not well versed in linux so this helped a ton. The netbox log wasn't being generated because it wasn't getting that far, but the journalctl command was very helpful. I found that it wasn't finding my plugin which was installed with the setup.py "develop" switch. I used "install" instead and now we're working.

Thanks again.
