Logging Portal Server Data

The Portal Server logging API is an implementation of the JSR 47: Logging API Specification. Each Portal Server application has its own configuration file. Portal administrators can do the following:

• Associate a configuration file with its corresponding application

• Make specific configuration changes that affect only that application

• Achieve easier cleanup of applications

By default, the log file directory is /var/opt/sun/portal/portals/portal1/logs/portal-server-instance. The com.sun.portal.log.config.file properties file provides the default configuration of the logging system. Administrators can specify the location and names of the portal log files specified in this file.

Administrators can define the following logging attributes:

• Maximum size of the log file

• Number of history files

• Type of log level

Application Log Configuration Files

Each Portal Server application has at least one log configuration file associated with it. This topic lists file names for the following applications:
