Sun Java System Access Manager 7 2005Q4 Technical Overview

Log Files Directory

The log files record a number of events for each of the Access Manager components using the Logging Service. Administrators typically review these log files on a regular basis. The default location for all Access Manager log files is /var/opt/SUNWam/logs. The following table describes the files in the log files directory.

The period (.) separator in a log filename is converted to an underscore (_) in database formats. Also in databases, table names may be converted to all upper case. For example, amConsole.access may be converted to AMCONSOLE_ACCESS, or it may be converted to amConsole_access.
