Configuring server logging

To control the logging activity of an IBM® Content Search Services server, enable or disable the logging of server and command-line tool messages and set the level of the logging messages.

IMPORTANT Do not alter the configuration for server logging unless instructed to do so by a support representative from IBM Customer Support.

To enable or disable the error message logging for a server:

  1. Start the server. Start the server if the server is not already started.
  2. Enable or disable logging by using the following command-line syntax to run the administration tool:

          adminTool configureTrace –configPath path -trace [on | off]

  3. Set the logging level by running the configuration tool: see "Logging level" in Logging level.

To determine whether logging is currently enabled for a server:

  1. Start the server. Start the server if the server is not already started.
  2. Use the following command-line syntax to run the administration tool:
  3.       adminTool printTrace –configPath path
