Appendix B.  Search Logging

Logging request and response data is a common means of troubleshooting ATG Search. To enable logging of the request and response XML data, use the Dynamo Administration page described in the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide. The default port for accessing this page is 8830.

  1. Go to http://<host>:<port>/nucleus/atg/search/routing
    /SearchEngineService/    .

  2. Change the loggingIndex property value to true. This ensures that the indexer server will write out request and response XML to the following directory:

    <ATG2007.3dir>\home\logs\searchEngineActivity

Note: These log files can quickly consume a great deal of space. Either clean out the logging directory often, or turn logging off when it is not required.

To change the directory where Search log files are stored, you can create a filelog_basepath environment variable and set it to the directory you want to use.

By default, log files are retained for two days. To configure how long the files are retained, you can edit the /atg/search/routing/LaunchingService.params file and add a –t flag as shown:

-t,\
NN,\

Replace the NN with the number of days you want to retain the files.
