## Troubleshooting

\
If your node is not starting properly for some reason, consider opening a WebTTY and checking the logs:\
\
Create a WebTTY [StackOS - WebTTY (external)](https://www.evernote.com/shard/s79/sh/647ab636-068b-946f-9cf5-2c6e9895c0a9/43124974ed3a91d7f41cc255325aba7b)

### Get the name of the presearch-0x... pod

\
kubectl get pods\ <br>

### Show the logs for the pod

`kubectl logs -f presearch-0xYOURETHADDRESS-RANDOM`<br>

### Expect to see something like this
