View the JVM logs

 

Overview

The JVM logs are written as plain text files. Therefore there are no special requirements to view these logs. They are located in the installation_directory/logs/applicationServerName directory, and by default are named SystemOut.log and SystemErr.log.

There are two techniques that you can use to view the JVM logs for an application server:

• Use the adminstrative console. This supports viewing the JVM logs from a remote machine.

• Use a text editor on the machine where the logs are stored.

1. View the JVM logs from the administrative console.

   1. Start the administrative console.

   2. Click Troubleshooting > Logs and Trace in the console navigation tree. To view the logs for a particular server, click on the server name to select it, then click JVM Logs.

   3. Select the runtime tab.

   4. Click View corresponding to the log you want to view.

2. View the JVM logs from the machine where they are stored.

   1. Go to the machine where the logs are stored.

   2. Open the file in a text editor or drag and drop the file into an editing and viewing program.
