Activating the debug logs for IBM AD Analyze Client

Edit online
To activate the debug logs for IBM® AD Analyze Client, complete the following steps:
  1. Go to the <Eclipse Workspace folder>\.metadata\.ez directory and create the LogConfigurator.properties file.
  2. In the LogConfigurator.properties file, add the following line, and save the file.
    com.ibm=all
com.ez=all
  3. Open IBM AD Analyze Client, and go to Preferences > Application Discovery > Local Settings > General Settings.
  4. Verify that the Enable easy log4j configuration syntax checkbox is selected. Then, click Reload Log Configuration, and click Apply or Apply and Close.
  5. Run the actions as needed, such as analyzing by means of graphs, reports, or usage.
  6. Go to the <Eclipse Workspace folder>\.metadata\.ez\log directory and collect all the files in the folder.
  7. To disable the logging without restarting Eclipse, rename the LogConfigurator.properties file, and repeat the steps 3 and 4. Alternately, you can edit LogConfigurator.properties, place a hash # character at the beginning of all lines to comment out the lines, save the file, and repeat the steps 3 and 4.
Important:
  1. For step 1, ensure that the file is created exactly with this name and case and extension: LogConfigurator.properties. If Windows is set to hide file extensions, you might want to show them to verify the full file name and extension so as to avoid having an incorrect file extension.
  2. If IBM AD Analyze Client is restarted, you must run the steps 3 and 4 again to re-enable the logging that is configured in the LogConfigurator.properties.
