4.5. Accessing system logs
Viewing system logs
To access the system logs, log in to the LWSA web portal. Click on the "services" tab. Press the "log viewer" button.
On the next screen select "Tomcat catalina.out". Use the controls to either scroll through the log file, or download it and use your favorite editor to view it. Note that the beginning of the file has the oldest log messages; the most recent messages will be at the end of the file.
Changing the logging level
The amount of detail logged is controlled by the "logging level" dropdown control shown in the above screenshot. The most detailed amount of logging is "debug", with less information logged at each level up to "error". Generally speaking we recommend running at level "info" for a stable production system.
