@kyle benne's answer is good for working in EnergyPlus. In OpenStudio I suggest using the Add Output Diagnostics measure with DisplayAllWarnings selected. This will give you all the diagnostic files you need which will be located in the OSM file directory in the .../run/EnergyPlus folder. The directory and files can also be opened directly from within OpenStudio through the Run Simulation tab > Tree tab.

The files you're looking for are the .err and .shd files.
