Use the Search Criteria area to customize and filter the log viewer. Use the basic fields as follows:
server.log
.
hh:mm:ss.SSS
For example:
17:10:00.000
If the From value is later than the To value, an error message appears.
To ensure that the messages you want to view appear in the server log, first set the appropriate log levels on the Log Levels page. See "Configuring Log Levels".
If you choose to filter log messages based on log level, only messages matching the specified filter criteria are shown. However, this filtering does not affect which messages are logged to the server log.
The most recent 40 entries in the server log appear, with the settings specified on the Logging Settings and Log Levels pages.
Click the triangle next to the Timestamp header to sort the messages so that the most recent one appears last.
To view a formatted version of any message, click the link marked
(details)
A window labeled Log Entry Detail appears, with a formatted version of the message.
At the end of the list of entries, click the buttons to view earlier or later entries in the log file.
Click Advanced Search in the Search Criteria area to make additional refinements to the log viewer. Use the Advanced Options fields as follows:
Selecting a namespace at a higher level selects all the namespaces below it. For example, if you select javax.enterprise.system
, you get the loggers for all the modules under that namespace: javax.enterprise.system.core
, javax.enterprise.system.tools.admin
, and so on.
com.mycompany.myapp.module1
com.mycompany.myapp.module2
com.mycompany.myapp.module3
To view messages from all modules in the application, type com.mycompany.myapp
. To view messages from module2
only, type com.mycompany.myapp.module2
.
When you specify one or more custom loggers, messages from Application Server modules appear only if you specify them explicitly in the Logger area.
_ThreadID
. For example:
_ThreadID=13
Suppose that com.mycompany.myapp.module2
runs in several threads. To refine the log viewer to show only the output from a single thread, specify that module’s logger in the Custom Logger field, and then specify the thread ID in this field.
To view stack traces, deselect the “Limit excessively long messages” checkbox. By default, stack traces do not appear in the viewer, but you can view them by clicking the (details)
link for a message.
Click Basic Search to hide the Advanced Options area.
