Server Logs

This release supports a new logging facility. The server stores regular log information in the trace log (tracelog.txt). For convenience, error messages are also stored in the errors.txt file. A new log file, named the buffer log, stores all messages regardless of the message category or severity.

Note: The Automated Framework Message log (afmlog.txt) no longer exists.

You can use the new logging facility to do the following:

• Configure when the trace log is archived (rollover) by maximum file size or by time (weekly, daily, hourly, or every minute)
• Limit the messages stored in the trace log by setting the severity threshold (error, fatal, info, off, and warning) of each message category (logger identifier)
• Retrieve the current security threshold for each message category
• Set up various logging profiles, which can be applied to control the types of messages included in the trace log at a given time
• Configure the maximum size of the buffer log file

Note: For more information about server logs, see the Admin Perspective Help.
