Viewing logs
If you are an IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel administrator,
you can view the audit, activity, and diagnostic logs of Rational Test Control Panel.
- Viewing the Rational Test Control Panel logs
Rational Test Control Panel produces two types of logs: messages.log and console.log. These logs provide information about the execution of Rational Test Control Panel. If Rational Test Control Panel fails to start, this is the only information that you have to debug the failure. The logs also include information about migration of the workspace, ports that it cannot listen on, files that it cannot find, or about HTTP requests sent to Rational Test Control Panel that it cannot understand. These logs are available on your hard disk, but not viewable on the Rational Test Control Panel web UI. The messages.log file contains the same log entries as console.log, but provides additional information (for example, what package logged the entry). - Viewing the Rational Test Control Panel audit log
If you are an IBM Rational Test Control Panel administrator, you can view the contents of the audit log of Rational Test Control Panel. The audit log provides information about your overall activity in IBM Rational Test Control Panel (for example, failed login attempts, starting and stopping stubs, creating environments, and creating and deleting domains). These data may be useful for security reasons and for finding out who initiated a particular change (for example, who stopped a stub or who deleted a domain). You can view the audit log on the Rational Test Control Panel web UI. - Viewing the Rational Test Control Panel activity log
If you are an IBM Rational Test Control Panel administrator, you can view, download, and share the contents of the activity log of Rational Test Control Panel. The activity log provides information about your activity across the various components of Rational Test Virtualization Server. The data is particularly about the communication between, or control of these components; for example, recording and routing rules sent to proxies. You can view the activity log on the Rational Test Control Panel web UI. - Enabling and disabling remote diagnostic logging for the JDBC proxy
To facilitate troubleshooting, IBM Rational Test Control Panel administrators can view, download, and share detailed log events information for the JDBC proxy. The capability to display this information in Rational Test Control Panel requires enabling remote diagnostic logging for the proxy. - Enabling and disabling remote diagnostic logging for the HTTP/TCP proxy
To facilitate troubleshooting, IBM Rational Test Control Panel administrators can view, download, and share detailed log events information for the HTTP/TCP proxy. The capability to display this information in Rational Test Control Panel requires enabling remote diagnostic logging for the proxy. - Viewing the Rational Test Control Panel diagnostic log
If you are an IBM Rational Test Control Panel administrator, you can view, download, and share the contents of the diagnostic log of Rational Test Control Panel. The diagnostic log provides information about the execution of the Rational Test Virtualization Server components. When enabled for a given proxy, this log records the same information as is contained in the log files that proxy writes to the disk, for example, information about how the HTTP proxy matches requests against the rules it has and whether it sends requests to a stub or to the live system. It may also include information about the execution of Rational Test Control Panel itself. You can view the diagnostic log on the Rational Test Control Panel web UI. - Setting the log level
The logging element in the server configuration file of Rational Test Control Panel defines the log level. - Configuring and retrieving log information from metrics storage (kairosdb)
You can use the server configuration file of Rational Test Control Panel to configure and retrieve log information metrics that are stored by using kairosdb.
