Manage Log Files for a Provisioning Bridge

After you install and start a Provisioning Bridge, you may want to access the log files for troubleshooting purposes. You can locate these files in the logs folder.

The logs folder is contained in the directory that you created when you unzipped the file for the Identity Cloud Service Provisioning Bridge client in Create a Provisioning Bridge.

You can change the folder path where all log files for the Provisioning Bridge are stored and the log level for these log files. To do this, you modify the log4j.properties file.

The log4j.properties file is located in the conf folder of the directory that you created when you unzipped the file for the Identity Cloud Service Provisioning Bridge client, and contains properties associated with logging operations that are performed by the Provisioning Bridge.

1. Navigate to the conf folder.
2. Using a text editor, open the log4j.properties file.
3. In the file, locate the following line of code: property.baseLocation = ./logs/
4. Change the value of the property.baseLocation parameter to the folder path where you want all log files for the Provisioning Bridge to be stored.
5. Locate the following line of code: filter.threshold.level = error
6. Change the value of the filter.threshold.level parameter to one of the following log levels:

   Log Level	Description
   all	Capture all events
   debug	Capture fine-grained informational events that are most useful to debug the Provisioning Bridge
   error	Capture error events that might still allow the Provisioning Bridge to continue running
   info	Capture informational events that highlight the progress of the Provisioning Bridge at a coarse-grained level

7. Save and close the log4j.properties file.

Note:

You must stop the Provisioning Bridge and restart it for the changes you made to the log4j.properties file to take effect. Also, after you stop the Provisioning Bridge, you must wait three minutes to restart it.
