Log File Overview

This section describes the following log files and where they are located.

• Main Log Files
• Demo Server Log Files

Main Log Files

The main log files include:

• coordinator.log: the logging output for the coordinator.
• cvsmgr.log: the logging output for the Continuous Validation Service (CVS).
• devtest_broker_pid.log: the logging output for the broker component of the DevTest Java Agent.
• devtest_console_pid.log: the logging output for the console component of the DevTest Java Agent.
• marmaker.log: the logging output for the Make Mar command-line utility.
• pfbroker.log: the cumulative logging output for the broker component of the DevTest Java Agent.
• portal.log: the logging output for the DevTest Portal.
• registry.log: the logging output for the registry.
• simulator.log: the logging output for the simulator.
• svcimgmgr.log: the logging output for the Service Image Manager command-line utility.
• svcmgr.log: the logging output for the Service Manager command-line utility.
• trunner.log: the logging output for the Test Runner command-line utility.
• vse.log: the logging output for the VSE server.
• vsemgr.log: the logging output for the VSE Manager command-line utility.
• vse_xxx.log: the logging output for VSE conversations and service image navigation, where xxx is the service image name.
• workstation.log: the logging output for DevTest Workstation.

The lisa.tmpdir property controls the location of these log files. To see the value of the lisa.tmpdir property from DevTest Workstation:

1. Click Help, DevTest Runtime Info from the main menu.
2. In the System Properties tab, locate lisa.tmpdir.

If the registry, coordinator, simulator, or VSE is running as a Windows service, the log files are located in the LISA_HOME\lisatmp directory.

Note: Although lisa.tmpdir allows you to change the location of where you can store your temporary files, CA does not recommend that you change this property to save the temporary files out to an external mount point or external share. If you encounter issues with product instability, and you are using an external share for temp file storage, Support might instruct you to go back to using a local disk for temp file storage for continued support of your environment.

Demo Server Log Files

The demo server has its own log files, which are located in the lisa-demo-server/jboss/server/default/log directory.

The lisa.tmpdir property does not control this location.

The demo server log files are:

• boot.log
• server.log
