Configure access logging for internal Web server HTTP transport

 

In order to debug potential problems with using HTTP transport as an internal Web server, you may use the following access logging capabilities.

1. To turn access logging on, add the following property to the transport section of the server.xml file, and set the value to false...

   Property name: AccessLogDisable 
   Values: True/False
   Default: Access log is disabled by default
   Scope:  Virtual/Global
   

2. To specify your own access log file, add the following property to the transport section of the server.xml file

   Property name: AccessLog 
   Value: <filename>
   Default Value: logs/server_instance/http_access.log
   

   The default access log file is...

   logs/server_instance/http_access.log

   Access log entries should have the format:

   <hostname > <user agent> [<local time> -<status code>] <thread id> <http request> <status code> <bytecount>

3. To turn access logging off, add the following property to the transport section of the server.xml file and set the value to true...

   Property name: AccessLogDisable 
   Values: True/False
   Default: Access log is disabled by default
   Scope:  Virtual/Global
   

4. Restart the server.

If you have enabled access logging, there will be an access log in the location you specified.
