Karaf console

The Karaf console offers the option to:

• monitor the log in realtime
• manage bundles

Accessing the console

Accessing the Karaf console depends on the start mode of openHAB. The manually start using shell/batch script ends directly in the Karaf console.

If openHAB runs a service, the console can be accessed using ssh to the openHAB host on port 8101. The default Username/Password is karaf/karaf.

ssh karaf@localhost -p 8101
