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.
About this task
Rational Test Control Panel is a central point of coordination among agents and proxies when stubs are running. To facilitate identifying and solving problems with IBM Rational Integration Tester proxies when they occur, Rational Test Control Panel can display a diagnostic log that is a centralized view of log events of those proxies.
Note: The HTTP/TCP proxy and the JDBC proxy
are the only proxies that can be enabled for remote diagnostic logging
to Rational Test Control Panel.
By default, remote diagnostic logging is not enabled for either proxy,
so you must enable it.
The diagnostic log can be exported to a comma-separated value (CSV) file, which can be shared with anyone who is not a Rational Test Control Panel user but who may affected by, or be involved in supporting, Rational Test Control Panel or Rational Test Virtualization Server.
When the Diagnostic log page is first displayed, the most recent events are displayed first.
