Application Logs - Is there any way to save all debug logs in one IP specific debug log file?

Currently the logs are written to different debug files(IP specific) randomly which makes it difficult to troubleshoot issues as we have to check where the logs are written.

In one of the environment, we have 4 different debug files and their corresponding rotated files(log.1, log.2 etc.):

1. debugLog.log

2. debugLog-10.x.x.37.log

3. debugLog-10.x.x.39.log

4. debugLog-10.x.x.41.log

Firstly, what is the purpose of multiple debug files with different IP addresses?

Secondly, is there any way to always write logs in only ONE debug file. For example debugLog-10.x.x.37.log, so that if we want to check historic logs, we can just see that files and rotated logs files for 10.x.x.37?

Ramanpreet Bhatia,

Greetings!

1. In a multiple server environment, logs get added with IP postfixed with server IP of the server that processes the request

2. When file size becomes greater, it would be tougher to debug information, so we leverage javas logging mechanism (log4j) to log and rotate the older files once it reaches the limit set in configurations as per best practice standard

3. With newer release slated soon, we also have search and download feature which would enable you to search for a specific text and download only those files which have matching text

Hope above explanation clarifies

Hi Aarthi,

Regarding #1 - Thank you

Regarding #2 - Completely understand

Regarding #3 - Perfect. Is it planned to be available from v6.0 or v5.x service packs too?
