The cfgtoollogs dir under <GRID_HOME> and $ORACLE_BASE contains other important logfiles.  Specifically for rootcrs.pl and configuration assistants like ASMCA, etc...

ASM logs live under $ORACLE_BASE/diag/asm/+asm/<ASM Instance Name>/trace

The diagcollection.pl script under <GRID_HOME>/bin can be used to automatically collect important files for support.  Run this as the root user.
