Changing from basic mode to HPEL logging and tracing

The basic mode log and trace framework is enabled by default when you set up a new application server. Use this topic to switch to the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and trace framework.

• Use the administrative console to switch to HPEL.
  1. Log on to the administrative console.
  2. If using an admin agent topology select a node that you want to manage and navigate to it.
  3. From the navigation section in the console choose Troubleshooting > Logs and trace .
  4. .View your log and trace data using the LogViewer command-line tool or using the administrative console.
  5. Select the server that you want to switch to HPEL.
  6. Click Switch to HPEL Mode .
  7. Save the changes.
• Use wsadmin scripting to switch to HPEL.
  Complete these steps to modify the server configuration.
  1. Start wsadmin.
     In this case, you can connect wsadmin to a running server or access the configuration data for a stopped server. Read about starting the wsadmin scripting client for more information.
  2. Get a reference to the HighPerformanceExtensibleLogging configuration object.

     Using Jython:

     HPELService = AdminConfig.getid("/Cell:myCell/Node:myNode/Server:
     myServer/HighPerformanceExtensibleLogging:/")

     Table 1. AdminConfig command description . The table lists AdminConfig command and description.

     Command	Description
     myCell	The name of the cell
     myNode	The host name of the node
     myServer	The name of the server

  3. Set the HighPerformanceExtensibleLogging enable attribute to true.

     Using Jython:

     AdminConfig.modify(HPELService, "[[enable true]]")

  4. Get a reference to the RASLoggingService object.

     Using Jython:

     RASLogging = AdminConfig.getid("/Cell:myCell/Node:myNode/Server:myServer/RASLoggingService:/")

     Table 2. AdminConfig command description . The table lists AdminConfig command and description.

     Command	Description
     myCell	The name of the cell
     myNode	The host name of the node
     myServer	The name of the server

  5. Set the RASLoggingService enable attribute to false.

     Using Jython:

     AdminConfig.modify(RASLogging, "[[enable false]]")

  6. Save the configuration.

     Using Jython:

     AdminConfig.save()
