Configuring the service log

The settings for service logs are typically shared for all servers, but you can configure a separate service log for each server process by overriding the configuration values at the server level.

About this task

The configuration values for the service log are inherited by each server process from the node configuration, but under certain circumstances you might wish to configure the service logs differently for individual servers. You can use the administrative console to change the service log settings from the server level configuration panels.

Procedure

  1. Start the administrative console.
  2. Click Troubleshooting > Logs and Trace > server_name > IBM Service Logs.
  3. Select the Enable box to enable the service log, clear the check box to disable the log.
  4. Set the name for the service log.

    [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] The default name is profile_root/logs/activity.log. If the name is changed, the run time requires write access to the new file, and the file must use the .log extension.

    [i5/OS] The default name is profile_root/logs/activity.log. If the name is changed, the run time requires write access to the new file, and the file must use the .log extension.

  5. Set the maximum file size. Specifies the number of megabytes to which the file can grow. When the file reaches this size, it wraps, replacing the oldest data with the newest data.
  6. Save the configuration.
  7. Restart the server to apply the configuration changes.
