WSREP "Failed to open channel" solution

Error
ERROR WSREP "Failed to open channel 'my_mariadb_cluster'"

Detailed Error
WSREP: gcs/src/gcs.cpp:gcs_open():1458: Failed to open channel 'my_mariadb_cluster' at 'gcomm://10.10.10.10,10.10.10.11': -110 (Connection timed out)

Solution
On the first node: (e.g. node-1)
-> Stop mariadb service if it hangs
# systemctl stop mariadb.service

-> Make sure "safe_to_bootstrap" value is "1"
# cat /var/lib/mysql/grastate.dat
safe_to_bootstrap: 1

-> Run following command for starting cluster as new
# galera_new_cluster

-> mariadb service should be started automatically
# systemctl status mariadb.service

-> note wsrep_last_committed number by looking system table
# mysql -u root -p
> show status like 'wsrep_%';

-> note uuid number
# cat /var/lib/mysql/grastate.dat

On the second node: (e.g. node-2)
-> Stop mariadb service if it hangs
# systemctl stop mariadb.service

-> uuid and seqno (wsrep_last_committed) should be same with node-1
# vi /var/lib/mysql/grastate.dat
uuid: 0000
seqno: 100

-> start mariadb service
# systemctl start mariadb.service

How to find/follow postgresql server logs?

-> Check log level from config file
# cat /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
e.g.
log_min_messages= 'ERROR' (default value)
(options; DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1, INFO, NOTICE, WARNING, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, and PANIC)

-> Determine log directory name (via postgres user)
$ psql
postgres=# show log_directory;
e.g. pg_log

-> Determine data directory name (via postgres user)
$ psql
postgres=# show data_directory;
e.g. /var/lib/pgsql/data

-> Determine log file name (via postgres user)
$ psql
postgres=# show log_filename;
e.g. postgresql-%a.log (%a will be "day" of the week)
e.g. postgresql-%a-%H.log (%H will be "hour" of the day)

-> Check log rotation age of the log files
postgres=# show log_rotation_age;
e.g. 1d (1d means one day)
* The database system generate log files daily
e.g. 1h (1h means one hour)
* The database system generate log files hourly

Eventually, the log path could be like this;
e.g. 
# ls /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_log/postgresql-Mon.log
# ls /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_log/postgresql-Mon-07.log

-> To follow the logs by tail
e.g.
# tail -100f /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_log/postgresql-Mon.log
# tail -100f /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_log/postgresql-Mon-07.log
