Troubleshooting | Logs and trace | server_name | View HPEL logs and trace

We can only access this page when the server is configured to use HPEL log and trace mode.
We can view log and trace data for stopped servers as long as a node agent or administrative agent is running on the same machine, and that agent is configured to use HPEL.

Content and filtering details

Specify what content sources to include and what content to filter from the log view.

Server instance

Change the server instance from which log records are retrieved.
Each time the server is restarted, a new server instance is created. By default, the log view table shows log records generated in the most recent server instance. To select a different server start time, choose a server instance with the appropriate start timestamp. The timestamps shown represent the timestamp of the first record written to each server instance.

View contents

Control what content sources are displayed in the log view.

System Out

Content logged to the System.out output stream is included in the log view.

System Error

Content logged to the System.err output stream is included in the log view.

Logs and trace

Log and trace records are included in the log view.
Log and trace entries can be further specified to include a minimum or maximum level. Minimum and maximum can be specified together, for example to display only a certain level of trace. If log and trace is not selected neither log nor trace records of any severity might be displayed.
Examples of log and trace filtering:

Clear minimum and maximum level fields results in the log view displaying records with any log or trace level.
Set minimum level to WARNING results in the log view displaying log records with levels WARNING, FATAL, or SEVERE.
Set maximum level to FINE results in the log view displaying trace records with levels FINE, FINER, or FINEST.
Set minimum level to DETAIL and maximum level to AUDIT results in the log view displaying log records with levels DETAIL, CONFIG, INFO, or AUDIT.

Filtering

Controls which records are included in and excluded from the log view.
For all filters in this section, multiple entries might be specified using a colon (:) as a separator character. A limited set of regular expression characters can be used. Refer to console documentation for more details. If multiple filter settings are specified, the filter conditions must all be true for a record to be displayed in the log view.

Include loggers

List of loggers whose records are included in the log view.

Exclude loggers

List of loggers whose records are excluded from the log view.

Message contents

Message content that each record must contain to be included in the log view.
