Java Agent Log Files

You can use the following log files to help troubleshoot issues:

The agent log file is named devtest_agent_pid.log. This file is written to the same directory as the LisaAgent.jar file.
Each time the broker is started, a log file named devtest_broker_pid.log is created. In addition, the broker has a consolidated log file named pfbroker.log. These files are written to the same directory as the main DevTest log files.
The console log files are named devtest_agent_console_pid.log. DevTest Workstation has a log file, DevTest Portal has a log file, each simulator has a log file, and VSE has a log file. These files are written to the same directory as the main DevTest log files.

The pid portion of the file names is the process identifier of the process that is doing the logging.

Note: For information about the main DevTest log files and their location, see Administering.

The following configuration properties let you control the logging behavior:

Java logging level: Sets the log level at startup.
Maximum log size: Sets the maximum size of an agent log before it gets rolled over.
Maximum log archives: Sets the maximum number of rolled-over archived logs to keep.
Agent log: Overrides the default location.

You can configure these properties from the Agents window of the DevTest Portal. The properties appear in the Settings tab.

If you need to configure these properties from the rules.xml file, the corresponding property names are as follows:
