Error logs

When an operation fails, the corresponding error messages are logged in the WinADAgent.log file that you can find in the Agents installation directory.

The Active Directory Adapter logs are stored in specific formats in the WinADAgent.log file.

Each log entry contains a logging level, a timestamp, an optional thread ID, and the message text. The Active Directory Adapter records the following three logging levels:

  • Base (BSE)
  • Detail (DTL)
  • Debug (DBG)

Log format

The following example shows the format of a log entry:

BSE:08/03/24 16:41:08 Thread:001132 Received PayLoad Message
where,
  • BSE is the base logging level
  • 08/03/24 16:41:08 is the date and time when the log entry is created
  • Thread:001132 is the thread ID that uniquely identifies the thread
  • Received PayLoad Message is the message text

Similarly, the following examples show log entries that record the detail and the debug logging levels:

DTL:08/03/24 16:41:08 Thread:001132 New callback thread. Operation is Modify. 
Thread count: 1
DBG:08/03/24 16:41:08 Thread:001132 The RUS service is found running on the 
resource & it has been correctly indicated by the registry key also. 
So, agent is not managing RUS related attributes.
