There are log files detailing the characteristics and runtime activities of individual profiles. These log files are located within the profile directory for each profile.
There are a number of log files that are created for each profile. Some of these logs describe the parameters used for the creation of the profile. These types of log files generally remain unchanged once the profile is fully configured. Other profile-specific logs are continually updated to capture error, warning, and information messages emitted during runtime. Some of these log files are also used to capture a Common Base Event (that may include business object data) that is selected for monitoring.
The table below specifies the different types of profile-specific log files and the locations where you can find them within the product. Within the table, the variable install_root represents the installation directory of WebSphere® ESB. The variable profile_root represents the root location of a profile.
The variable user_data_root
represents the default user data directory.
For more information see Default installation directories for the product, profiles, and tools.
