Exam Terraform Associate topic 1 question 168 discussion

Terraform has detailed logs which can be enabled by setting the TF_LOG environment variable to any value. This will cause detailed logs to appear on stderr. You can set TF_LOG to one of the log levels (in order of decreasing verbosity) TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN or ERROR to change the verbosity of the logs.

A A. Set TF_LOG=DEBUG >> only this one sound like correct answear B. Review syslog for Terraform error messages >> firstly you need to turn on terraform logging ref https://www.terraform.io/internals/debugging C. Run terraform login to reauthenticate with the provider >> login is used to connect with Terraform Cloud, Terraform Enterprise, or any other host that offers Terraform services ref https://www.terraform.io/cli/commands/login D. Review /var/log/terraform.log for error messages >> you would have to turn on logging and add path to logging ref https://www.terraform.io/internals/debugging

"A" maybe make sense, but why you would like to enable TF_LOG for a message that is crystal clear: ACCESS DENIED?!

A makes sense here.

A Correct C - no - provider is not responsible for managing state

to determine the root cause of the problem , we need to first enable logging

Error loading state: AccessDenied: Access Denied status code: 403, request id: 288766CE5CCA24A0, host id: FOOBAR C. Run terraform login to reauthenticate with the provider
