How to check if the Ancor is sync is upto date

Need for Ancor sync check, Why?

Keeping the Ancor sync updated is crucial for on-prem customers to ensure uninterrupted functionality—whether it's related to connectivity, patching, or remediation activities. Below are the recommended steps to verify if Ancor sync is functioning correctly.

Step 1: Review Log Files

1. Navigate to the Logs Directory:
   Open a terminal on the Ancor server and run:

   cd /usr/local/scaprepo/logs
   

2. Locate the Latest Log File:
   Identify the log file corresponding to the current date. For example, on May 26, the file would look like:

   Ancor_2025-05-26.log
   

3. Verify Sync Activity:
   Open the log file using tail -100f or cat to confirm that sync operations are occurring. You should see entries indicating data fetches, uploads, or status updates:

   ✅ Log entries confirming sync activity indicate that the process is up-to-date.

Step 2: Check Timestamp of Resource and Reports Folders

1. Resource Folder:
   The resource folder stores all third-party patches and acts as the local patch repository.

   ls -lt /usr/local/scaprepo/resource

2. Reports Folder:
   Check the last updated timestamp to ensure recent data has been pulled.

   ls -lt /usr/local/scaprepo/reports

   ⏱️ Recent timestamps confirm the sync is active and recent.

Additional Notes:

• The resource folder is critical for storing all third-party patch content.

• All the thirdparty patches are being stored here, so if any third-party remediation job is failed with patch not found in the software repository, we have to verify the presence of this application.
