Logs in Control Center

You can view and manage the logs for the applications in Control Center.

Three separate logs

Each application (StreamServer, service gateway, Archiver, and management gateway) generates three separate logs:

•	Boot log – early startup messages.

•	Platform log – low level details.

•	Application log – runtime log messages.

Log files

The log entries for each log are appended to separate log files.

Management gateway logs
Log	Log file path
Boot log	<ManagementGatewayRoot>/strs_boot.log
Platform log	<ManagementGatewayRoot>/platform.log
Application log	<ManagementGatewayRoot>/mgw.log

 

Service gateway logs
Log	Log file path
Boot log	<Service gateway wd>/strs_boot.log
Platform log	<Service gateway wd>/platform.log
Application log	<Service gateway wd>/servicegateway.log

 

StreamServer logs
Log	Log file path
Boot log	<StreamServer wd>/strs_boot.log
Platform log	<StreamServer wd>/platform.log
Application log	<StreamServer wd>/<logfile> Where <logfile> is the log file name specified in Design Center. Default is Log.txt.

 

Archiver logs
Log	Log file path
Boot log	<Archiver wd>/strs_boot.log
Platform log	<Archiver wd>/platform.log
Application log	<Archiver wd>/archiver.log

Log file entries

Each entry in a log file consists of the following:

<date> <time> (<logMessageID>) <logLevel> <logMessage>

<date>	The date the log entry was created.
<time>	The time the log entry was created.
<logMessageID>	The log message ID. Each type of log message has a unique ID.
<logLevel>	The severity level of the log message.
<logMessage>	The log message.

Logging to database

You can enable database logging for each application. See Logging to the runtime repository.

Control Center log view

The logs can be viewed on separate tabs in the Control Center log view. For example, when a service gateway is selected in the tree view, the log view contains three tabs:

•	strs_boot.log

•	platform.log

•	servicegateway.log

Each tab contains the same information as the corresponding log file. If you want to, you can clear the information displayed on each tab (right-click the log view and select Clear). This action clears the log displayed in Control Center, but does not affect the corresponding log file.

If logging to database is enabled for the application, a Database log tab is added to the log view. This tab displays the log information stored in the runtime repository.

Note:

In order to display the information on the Database log tab, a service gateway must be connected to the same application domain as the application, and this service gateway must be running.
