Logging and tracing in the WebSphere environment

For components that run within the WebSphere Process Server environment, you can enable logging and tracing using the WebSphere administrative console.

To enable logging and tracing in the WebSphere environment, follow these steps:
  1. In the WebSphere administrative console, click Troubleshooting > Logs and Trace.
  2. In the list of servers, click the server where the Common Event Infrastructure is installed.
  3. Click Diagnostic Trace.
  4. In the Trace Specification field, click Modify.
  5. In the list of groups, click CommonEventInfrastructure.
  6. Click the trace type you want to enable.
  7. Click Apply.

The trace specification is updated to reflect the trace type that you selected. For example, to turn on all tracing for the Common Event Infrastructure components, the trace specification is CommonEventInfrastructure=all=enabled.

Log files are written to the location configured for the application server.
