Unfortunately i don't see any log files included in the support report under /var/log/mariadb/columnstore? Were these excluded or are there just none? I

It's normal / possible that for a brief period that mysqld can be up before the columnstore backend services. Is your system permanently in this state?

columnstore.tgz

hi, it's columnstore log under /var/log/mariadb/columnstore.

I would normally expect to see some files like info.log, err.log, debug.log etc there. In both files these are missing. Can you confirm they are missing from your install too?

What does:

• mcsadmin getSystemStatus
• mcsadmin getProcessStatus

show?

I used the command ' /usr/local/mariadb/columnstore/bin/columnstoreSupport -a' to collect logs. it's the recent logs.
columnstoreSupportReport.tgz

Ok, so strange it seems no log files are created.. Can you run from mcsadmin:
mcsadmin> enableLog system all
enablelog Sun Nov 5 20:54:33 2017

Successful Enabling of Logging

And see if that starts logging, you should see info.log debug.log etc in /var/log/mariadb/columnstore. If it displays an error let me know.

Not actionable with current information. As discussed mysqld can come up before the columnstore processes and return this error until the system is fully up but if the status shows active then it should not. Did you ever come back to troubleshooting this issue and enabling logs?
