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.
About this task
Rational Test Control Panel can display a diagnostic log that is a centralized view of log events of Rational Integration Tester proxies.
By default, remote diagnostic logging to Rational Test Control Panel is not enabled in Rational Integration Tester Agent or in the proxies supplied with IBM Rational Test Control Panel.
Depending
on the operating system of the computer upon which the HTTP/TCP proxy
is installed, there are two ways to enable or disable remote diagnostic
logging to Rational Test Control Panel for
the HTTP/TCP proxy:
- If you are using Unix-like systems, or Microsoft Windows, you can modify the startup file of the proxy, which is located in <Quality Server installation directory>\httptcp.
- If you are using Microsoft Windows, you also have the option
to enable or disable remote diagnostic logging for the HTTP/TCP proxy
by modifying the IBM RIT HTTP Proxy Windows service.Note: This Windows service is installed if you selected the Install Service and Start on Boot options for the HTTP/TCP proxy while installing Rational Test Control Panel. By default, those settings are selected in IBM Installation Manager,
Procedure
Results
If you are using Microsoft Windows, HTTP/TCP proxy log files
are stored in specific locations as shown in the following table:
Log type | Default location |
---|---|
Process | C:\Users\<User name>\ghproxy |
Service | C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\ghproxy |
Note: The locations of the log files depend on settings in
the logging.properties file in <Quality
Server installation directory>\httptcp.
