The server.log file is dedicated to UI-related events. This log file is located in the directory federation_mgr_home/logs/ui. This file is useful for examining what is happening with the UI and for providing important diagnostic information to Technical Support.
You can read the server.log file using a text editor, but you cannot alter the parameters directly in this file. You can change the behavior of the server.log file by editing the server.conf file, specifically controlling whether the server.log file is overwritten or appended to each time you restart Federation Manager.
The logappend setting in the server.conf file determines the behavior. The server.conf file is located in the directory federation_mgr_home/secure-proxy/proxy-engine/conf.
The default value of the logappend parameter is "yes," which means that logs are appended at each restart. The benefit of appending logs is that you do not lose the logs from previous Federation Manager operations.
If you want Federation Manager to overwrite the server.log file at each restart, change the logappend parameter to "no." Changing the setting to "no" can be helpful if disk space is a concern, or for any other reason you want to prevent the server.log file to increase in size.
