IBM service log settings

Use this page to configure the IBM Service log, also known as the activity log.

To view this administrative console page, click Troubleshooting > Logs and Trace > server > IBM Service Logs.

Configuration tab

Enable service log

Specifies creation of a log file by the IBM Service log.

File Name

Specifies the name of the file used by the IBM Service log.

Maximum File Size

Specifies the maximum size in megabytes of the service log file. The default value is 2 megabytes.

When this size is reached, the service log wraps in place. Note that the service log does not roll over to a new log file like the JVM logs.

Message Filtering

Specifies the message filter level to the desired state. You can use this option to filter out or suppress some message categories. This filter value is applied to all logs, not just the service log.

Enable Correlation ID

Specifies the generation of a correlation ID that is logged with each message.

Use the correlation ID to correlate activity to a particular client request, or correlate activities on multiple application servers.
