Configure the Server Log
Summary: Perform these steps to manage the server log file.
The server log contains messages generated on a given WebLogic Server
instance. You can use the configuration commands to view current log
configuration settings retrieved from the administration server, and you
can define new settings.
Note
To monitor logs on a managed server when the managed server is
running on a different host machine than the administration server, the
managed server log files must be on a disk that is accessible to the
administrative server (mounted or mapped to the admin server). See
Updating a log file location to point to the mapped file path.
To configure the server log:
Step 1
Right-click the administration server instance icon.
Step 2 From the KM Commands menu, choose LOG Configuration => Server
Log
.
Step 3 From the list of available servers, select the server whose log you want to
configure.
Step 4 Click OK.
Step 5 Specify a file name and various rotation parameters for determining how
and when new log files are automatically created and old ones retired.
The dialog box fields are the same as those described in Table 5-2,
“Domain Log Setting dialog box fields,” on page 5-7 (with the addition
of a checkbox to enable logging to be sent to the Domain Log).
Step 6 Click OK.
