Viewing JVM logs

The Java virtual machine (JVM) logs are written as plain text files. Therefore there are no special requirements to view these logs.

Use either of two techniques to view the JVM logs for an application server:

• Use the administrative console, which also supports viewing the JVM logs from a remote machine.

• Use a text editor on the machine where the logs are stored.

1. View the JVM logs from the administrative console.

   1. Start the administrative console.

   2. Click Troubleshooting > Logs and Trace in the console navigation tree. To view the logs for a particular server, click on the server name to select it, then click JVM Logs.

   3. Select the runtime tab.

   4. Click View corresponding to the log you want to view.

2. View the JVM logs from the machine where they are stored.

   1. Go to the machine where the logs are stored.

   2. Navigate to the profile_root/logs/server_name directory and select SystemOut.log or SystemErr.log.

   3. Open the file in a text editor or drag and drop the file into an editing and viewing program.
