    Attributes

    This section describes the following attributes:


    BufferSizeKB

    Gets the underlying log buffer size in kilobytes

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typeint
    Default Value8

    CachingDisabled

    Private property that disables caching in proxies.

    This attribute is not dynamic and requires a server restart to take effect.

           
    Privileges Read only
    Typeboolean
    Redeploy or Restart required Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

    DateFormatPattern

    The date format pattern used for rendering dates in the log. The DateFormatPattern string conforms to the specification of the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class.

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typejava.lang.String

    DynamicallyCreated

    Return whether the MBean was created dynamically or is persisted to config.xml

    This attribute is not dynamic and requires a server restart to take effect.

           
    Privileges Read only
    Typeboolean
    Redeploy or Restart required Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

    FileCount

    The maximum number of log files that the server creates when it rotates the log. This number does not include the file that the server uses to store current messages. (Requires that you enable Number of Files Limited.)

    For more information, see:

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typeint
    Default Value7
    Minimum value1
    Maximum value99999

    FileMinSize

    The size (1 - 2097150 kilobytes) that triggers the server to move log messages to a separate file. The default is 500 kilobytes. After the log file reaches the specified minimum size, the next time the server checks the file size, it will rename the current log file as SERVER_NAME.lognnnnn and create a new one to store subsequent messages. (Requires that you specify a file rotation type of Size.)

    For more information, see:

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typeint
    Default Value500
    Minimum value1
    Maximum value2097150

    FileName

    The name of the file that stores current log messages. Usually it is a computed value based on the name of the parent of this MBean. For example, for a server log, it is SERVER_NAME.log.

    However, if the name of the parent cannot be obtained, the file name is weblogic.log. If you specify a relative pathname, it is interpreted as relative to the server's root directory.

    To include a time and date stamp in the file name when the log file is rotated, add java.text.SimpleDateFormat variables to the file name. Surround each variable with percentage (%) characters.

    For example, if the file name is defined to be myserver_%yyyy%_%MM%_%dd%_%hh%_%mm%.log, the log file will be named myserver_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm.log.

    When the log file is rotated, the rotated file name contains the date stamp. For example, if the log file is rotated for the first time on 2 April, 2003 at 10:05 AM, the log file that contains the old messages will be named myserver_2003_04_02_10_05.log00001.

    If you do not include a time and date stamp, the rotated log files are numbered in order of creation. For example, myserver.log00007.

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typejava.lang.String

    FileTimeSpan

    The interval (in hours) at which the server saves old log messages to another file. (Requires that you specify a file rotation type of TIME.)

    For more information, see:

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typeint
    Default Value24
    Minimum value1

    Notes

    Optional information that you can include to describe this configuration.

    WebLogic Server saves this note in the domain's configuration file (config.xml) as XML PCDATA. All left angle brackets (<) are converted to the XML entity &lt;. Carriage returns/line feeds are preserved.

    Note: If you create or edit a note from the Administration Console, the Administration Console does not preserve carriage returns/line feeds.

    After the server reaches this limit, it deletes the oldest log file and creates a new log file with the latest suffix.

    If you do not enable this option, the server creates new files indefinitely and you must clean up these files as you require.

    At the time that this value specifies, the server renames the current log file. Thereafter, the server renames the log file at an interval that you specify in File Time Span.

    Note that WebLogic Server sets a threshold size limit of 500 MB before it forces a hard rotation to prevent excessive log file growth.

    Operations

    This section describes the following operations:


    addTag

    Add a tag to this Configuration MBean. Adds a tag to the current set of tags on the Configuration MBean. Tags may contain white spaces.

       
    Operation Name"addTag"
    ParametersObject [] {  tag }

    where:

    • tag is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

      tag to be added to the MBean

    SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
    Returns boolean
    Exceptions
    • java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
      IllegalArgumentException if the tag contains illegal punctuation

    freezeCurrentValue

    If the specified attribute has not been set explicitly, and if the attribute has a default value, this operation forces the MBean to persist the default value.

    Unless you use this operation, the default value is not saved and is subject to change if you update to a newer release of WebLogic Server. Invoking this operation isolates this MBean from the effects of such changes.

    Note: To insure that you are freezing the default value, invoke the restoreDefaultValue operation before you invoke this.

    This operation has no effect if you invoke it on an attribute that does not provide a default value or on an attribute for which some other value has been set.

    Deprecated. 9.0.0.0

       
    Operation Name"freezeCurrentValue"
    ParametersObject [] {  attributeName }

    where:

    • attributeName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

      attributeName

    SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
    Returns void
    Exceptions
    • javax.management.AttributeNotFoundException
    • javax.management.MBeanException

    getInheritedProperties

    Return all properties' names whose value is inherited from template mbean. this is a convenient method to get inheritance info on multiple properties in one jmx call.

       
    Operation Name"getInheritedProperties"
    ParametersObject [] {  propertyNames }

    where:

    • propertyNames is an object of type [Ljava.lang.String; that specifies:

      properties to check

    SignatureString [] { "[Ljava.lang.String;" }
    Returns class

    isInherited

    Check if the value of a property is inherited from template mbean or not.

       
    Operation Name"isInherited"
    ParametersObject [] {  propertyName }

    where:

    • propertyName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

      the name of the property

    SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
    Returns boolean

    isSet

    Returns true if the specified attribute has been set explicitly in this MBean instance.

       
    Operation Name"isSet"
    ParametersObject [] {  propertyName }

    where:

    • propertyName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

      property to check

    SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
    Returns boolean

    removeTag

    Remove a tag from this Configuration MBean

       
    Operation Name"removeTag"

    where:

    • tag is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

      tag to be removed from the MBean

    SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
    Returns boolean
    Exceptions
    • java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
      IllegalArgumentException if the tag contains illegal punctuation

    restoreDefaultValue

    If the specified attribute has a default value, this operation removes any value that has been set explicitly and causes the attribute to use the default value.

    Default values are subject to change if you update to a newer release of WebLogic Server. To prevent the value from changing if you update to a newer release, invoke the freezeCurrentValue operation.

    This operation has no effect if you invoke it on an attribute that does not provide a default value or on an attribute that is already using the default.

    Deprecated. 9.0.0.0

       
    Operation Name"restoreDefaultValue"
    ParametersObject [] {  attributeName }

    where:

    • attributeName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

      attributeName

    SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
    Returns void
    Exceptions
    • javax.management.AttributeNotFoundException

    unSet
