Managing AuthMinder Server Logging Configurations

AuthMinder provides extensive logging capability and provides the following log files:

AuthMinder log file (arcotwebfort.log)
AuthMinder Startup log file (arcotwebfortstartup.log)
Administration Console log file (arcotadmin.log)
UDS log file (arcotuds.log)
Note: See "AuthMinder Logging" for detailed information about the location of these log files, the severity levels that you see in these log files, and the formats of these log files.

By using an instance-specific page, you can control logging configurations for the AuthMinder log file for the instance.

To change the AuthMinder Server log configurations:

Note: See "Reading Instance Timestamp Details" for information about how to control the configurations in the AuthMinder Statistics log file by using the Administration Console.

Ensure that you are logged in as the MA.
Activate the Services and Server Configurations tab in the main menu.
Ensure that the WebFort tab in the submenu is active.
Under the Instance Configurations section, click the Instance Management link to display the WebFort Instances page.
Click the required instance link in the Instance Name column.
The Instance name: <selected_instance> page appears.
Edit the fields in the Logging Configurations section, as required. The following table describes the fields of this section.

Field	Description
Transaction Log Directory	Specify the directory where the log files have to be created. You can either enter the absolute path or the path relative to ARCOT_HOME.
Rollover After (in Bytes)	Enter the maximum size for the log file. After the log file reaches this size, the log content is moved to a backup file.
Transaction Log Backup Directory	Specify the directory where the backup files will be stored. You can either enter the absolute path or the path relative to ARCOT_HOME.
Log Level	Specify the level of detail of the information to be logged. The possible values are: FATAL WARNING INFO DETAIL See "Supported Severity Levels" for more information about log levels.
Log Timestamps in GMT	Enable this option if you want the AuthMinder Server instance to log all the messages in GMT time zone format.
Enable Trace Logging	Enable this option if you want the AuthMinder Server instance to generate logs for the functional flow for every transaction. This is useful while debugging any flow issues.

Click Save to save the changes.
Refresh the AuthMinder Server instance for which you made the preceding changes. See "Refreshing a Server Instance" for instructions about the procedure.
