Federation Trace Logging

The federationtrace.log file provides trace for each federation transaction that happens at the FSS layer in the Agent for SharePoint. The federationtrace log file is located in Agent-for-SharePoint_home/proxy-engine/logs. The LoggerConfig.properties file controls the configuration for this log.

The federation trace logging is disabled by default. You can enable federationtrace logging by performing the following procedure in the LoggerConfig.properties file.

Note: Restart the Agent for SharePoint if you change the LoggerConfig.properties file.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the LoggerConfig.properties file. This file can be found in the directory Agent-for-SharePoint_home/Tomcat/webapps/affwebservices/WEB-INF/classes.
2. Set the TracingOn setting to Y.
3. Accept the default name and location for the TraceFileName setting, which points to the federationtrace.log file.

   Note: Verify that the federationtrace.log file location points to the following directory Agent-for-SharePoint_home\\proxy-engine\\conf\\defaultagent\\FederationTrace.conf

   Federation trace logging is now enabled.
