Enabling logging and tracing in Apache Tomcat

We can set the logging levels and the output file for tracing operations undertaken on the Apache Tomcat application server.

When we try to diagnose problems in the Application Center, it is important to be able to see the log messages. To print readable log messages in log files, you must specify the applicable settings.

To enable logging for IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation, including Application Center, with level FINEST (equivalent to ALL), edit the conf/logging.properties file. For example, add lines similar to these lines:

com.ibm.puremeap.level = ALL
com.ibm.worklight.level = ALL
com.worklight.level = ALL

For more information, see Logging in Tomcat.
