I’m trying to update our in-house module to work with 8.0. It doesn’t appear to require that many changes and in fact it works just fine. However, when I restart the server with our module installed it won’t get past the “STARTING” screen. It just hangs and never completes. We are running this on a linux machine and I haven’t been able to get any feedback on what may be happening. Does anyone know where I can find the server logs? If not, do you have any suggestions? ---

In the `logs` directory wherever Ignition is installed you’ll find one or more wrapper.log files. ---

It may also be useful to get a thread dump while it’s stuck like this. You can find Ignition’s pid using `jps` and then get the thread dump doing something like `jstack > ~/thread-dump.txt` ---

I have looked all through the installed ignition directory and cannot find anything resembling a log file. Can you be more specific about where in the folder hierarchy it is typically kept? I honestly can’t find it. ---

If you used the installer instead of zip files it’s probably in `/var/log/ignition`. ---

Awesome! There it is! I’ll attach it here but I’m looking through it now. [wrapper.log](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/c/c1568cb00a8ce2f1d5a7176b1b0ef1e7f7b6dea6.log) (1.0 MB) ---

It looks like I have some missing library resources. Think this could be related? Where would I find those underlined in red items since they don’t seem to come up in a Maven search? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/e/ee0efac1a6d389c069d9627d0a0e0eb9be9062b1.png) ---

Remove the `-SNAPSHOT` from all your Ignition SDK dependency versions. Just use `8.0.1`. It doesn’t matter that you can’t find source and javadoc jars though. Also make sure that your module indicates it depends on the reporting module and that you’re using the updated reporting module id: `com.inductiveautomation.reporting` ---

That was it! Man I never would’ve figured that out! Do you have any suggested resources that could teach me details like this? I already know about [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/SE/Introduction](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/SE/Introduction) but it doesn’t seem to cover specifics. ---

SDK documentation is pretty out of date at this point. The examples are a good source of truth: [https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples) Other than that, feel free to ask questions here in the forum.
