Log File

Enterprise Server log records are captured in the server.log file, typically located in domain-dir/logs. You can change the default name or location of the log file by following instructions in To Change the Log File Name or Directory.

Enterprise Server log records follow a uniform format:

[#|yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.SSS-Z|Log Level|ProductName-Version|LoggerName|Key Value Pairs|Message|#]

• [# and #] mark the beginning and end of the record.

• The vertical bar (|) separates the fields of the record.

• yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.SSSS-Z specifies the date and time that the record was created. For example: 2006-10-21T13:25:53.852-0400

• Log Level specifies the desired log level. You can select any of the following values: SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, and FINEST. The default is INFO.

• ProductName-Version refers to the current version of the Enterprise Server. For example: glassfish

• LoggerName is a hierarchical logger namespace that identifies the source of the log module. For example: javax.enterprise.system.core

• Key Value Pairs refers to pairs of key names and values, typically a thread ID. For example: _ThreadID=14;

• Message is the text of the log message. For all Enterprise Server SEVERE and WARNING messages and for many INFO messages, the message begins with a message ID that consists of a module code and a numerical value. For example: CORE5004

An example log record might look like this:

[#|2006-10-21T13:25:53.852-0400|INFO|GlassFish10.0|javax.enterprise.
system.core|_ThreadID=13;|CORE5004: Resource Deployed: 
[cr:jms/DurableConnectionFactory].|#]
