Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Update 2 Administration Reference

log-service

Configures the server log file, which stores messages from the default virtual server. Messages from other configured virtual servers also go here, unless the log-file attribute is explicitly specified in the virtual-server element. The default name is server.log.

Other log files are configured by other elements:

A virtual server log file stores messages from a virtual-server element that has an explicitly specified log-file attribute. See virtual-server.
The transaction log files store transaction messages from the default virtual server. The default name of the directory for these files is tx. See transaction-service.

The following table describes attributes for the log-service element.

Table 1–74 log-service Attributes


Attribute	Default	Description
`file`	`server.log` in the directory specified by the `log-root` attribute of the domain element	(optional) Overrides the name or location of the server log. The file and directory in which the server log is kept must be writable by the user account under which the server runs. An absolute path overrides the `log-root` attribute of the domain element. A relative path is relative to the `log-root` attribute of the domain element. If no `log-root` value is specified, it is relative to `domain-dir/config` .
`use-system-logging`	`false`	(optional) If `true`, uses the UNIX `syslog` service to produce and manage logs.
`log-handler`	none	(optional) Specifies a custom log handler to be added to end of the chain of system handlers to log to a different destination.
`log-filter`	none	(optional) Specifies a log filter to do custom filtering of log records.
`log-to-console`	`false`	(optional) Deprecated and ignored.
`log-rotation-limit-in-bytes`	`2000000`	(optional) Log files are rotated when the file size reaches the specified limit.
`log-rotation-timelimit-in-minutes`	`0`	(optional) Enables time-based log rotation. The valid range is `60` minutes (1 hour) to `14400` minutes (102460 minutes or 10 days). If the value is zero, the files are rotated based on the size specified in `log-rotation-limit-in-bytes`. If the value is greater than zero, `log-rotation-timelimit-in-minutes` takes precedence over `log-rotation-limit-in-bytes` .
`alarms`	`false`	(optional) Deprecated and ignored.
