Checking OCI Service Status and Outages
To check on the latest status and whether there are any outages in OCI, see OCI Status.
Checking the Terraform and OCI Terraform Provider Versions
To verify the version of Terraform and the OCI Terraform provider, initialize Terraform from a directory with your configurations and then run the -version command. For example:
terraform initterraform -versionThe versions are displayed:
Terraform v0.12.20
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/oci v3.95.0
Newer versions of the OCI Terraform provider include the version of the provider in error messages.
The OCI Terraform provider documentation reflects the latest version. You can view documentation for earlier provider versions by visiting the HashiCorp reference and selecting a specific version. You can also download and install a specific version of the provider.
Verbose Logging for OCI Terraform Provider
To get verbose console output when the provider is running, precede your Terraform command with the TF_LOG and OCI_GO_SDK_DEBUG flags. For example:
TF_LOG=DEBUG OCI_GO_SDK_DEBUG=v terraform planThe TF_LOG level and OCI_GO_SDK_DEBUG flags can also be set as environment variables.
