Changing Log Levels of the Performance Manager Servers

The following servers generate log files:
  • Front-end server
  • Application server (including logs for rules and incidents)
  • Execution server

To change the log level of a Performance Manager server:

  1. Stop the server for which you want to change the log level.
  2. Open the appropriate file with a text editor, depending on the server or component for which you want to change the log level:
    Front-end server
    SccFrontendBootConf.xml, located in the /conf/frontendserver folder of the Performance Manager directory on the front-end server.
    Application server, rules and incidents
    SccAppServerBootConf.xml, located in the /conf/appserver folder of the Performance Manager directory on the application server.
    Execution server
    SccExecServerBootConf.xml, located in the /conf/execserver folder of the Performance Manager directory on the execution server(s).
  3. Locate the <LogLevel> XML tag in the <Log> section of the file. For the application server log file, locate the <LogLevel> XML tag in the <AppLog> section of the file, and for the rules and condition log files in the <RuleLog> section.
  4. Set the value to the log level at which you want the server to write information. The following log levels are available:
