Configuring the JVM logs

Use the administrative console to configure the JVM logs for an application server.

About this task

To log events or information from a running JVM, you can use the administrative console to configure the settings you need for each server. Configuration changes for the JVM logs that are made to a running application server are not applied until the application server is restarted.

Note: This topic references one or more of the application server log files. As a recommended alternative, you can configure the server to use the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and trace infrastructure instead of using SystemOut.log , SystemErr.log, trace.log, and activity.log files on distributed and IBM® i systems. You can also use HPEL in conjunction with your native z/OS® logging facilities. If you are using HPEL, you can access all of your log and trace information using the LogViewer command-line tool from your server profile bin directory. See the information about using HPEL to troubleshoot applications for more information on using HPEL.
