About debugging a service
There are four ways to debug a service:
Service replay debugging
The service replay debugging feature allows you to replay actual service events that occurred in your service instance when your application ran in IBM® Spectrum Symphony. You use service replay debugging when you want to debug without making changes to your application.
Debug using customized service replay debugging
The following diagram provides an overview of the process you follow to debug a service.
Debug using full service replay debugging
Full service replay debugging generates service event replay logs for every service instance in your cluster, capturing all service events.
Live service debugging
Live service debugging refers to debugging a service while it is running in its test or production environment in IBM Spectrum Symphony or in IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition.
Retrieving application logs from the cluster management console
Use the cluster management console to configure the system to retrieve application logs that are written on all compute hosts on the grid from one central location. This is not applicable to IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition.
