Weblogic 8.1 sp4 - Autorotate log files

I have setup through the console to autorotate the log files.
Server -> Logging -> Server. Max file size, Number of files to retain etc..
It does not work.
Any suggestions as to why it does not work? Alternate solutions/suggestions.
thanks.

Assuming the log entries you care about are generated by your application, and not the infrastructure, you're better off adding millisecond detail to your application log messages. If you're using commons-logging, you can tie this to the WL server log implicitly through configuration, or you could use NonCatalogLogger to explicitly log to the WL server log.

Tmp file locations and Log file locations

I have been having a real headache too trying to get WebLogic to put all its
log files and temporary files in directories that I specify. It seems that
WebLogic has a mind of its own as files get created all over the place.
Trying to configure these really basic settings has proved extremely
awkward. Why is it such a nightmare to do?

OK, I changed the relative path for the log files.
1. I am still getting app-startip.log
app0000.tlog
in the root directory and not in the ./logs directory. Any other
settings?
2. I sill do not know how to redirect the tmp_ejbdomain.port directory.
Any suggestions?

I a domain configured and running with two applications. WLS 6 is
placing
the following logs for each application at the same dir level as
config
dir. It is also creating tmp_ejb directory at the same level.
1. How do I tell WLS 6 to place log files in a diff directoryIn Admin Console: modify the property Server -> Configuration ->Logging ->
FileName
In config.xml: the 'FileName' attr can be set to an absolute path OR apath
relative to Server.RootDirectory
<Server EnabledForDomainLog="true" ListenAddress="localhost"

WebLogic 10.3.2.0 hanging at startup after "The server log file is opened."

Hi,
A WebLogic 10.3.2.0 server is hanging at startup. There are no error messages. The last command in the startup window is:
"The server log file <log file dest> is opened. All server side log events will be written to this file."
I think the next line should be:
"Security initializing using security realm realm."
Any ideas on what could be the issue? For instance what resources should be accessed at that point of time? There is sufficient space left on the (virtual machine) disk. The VM configured with 8GB memory. Could it be performance related still?

How to view weblogic log files from a browser

Hi,
I am running WebLogic Server 7.03 on Solaris 8.
I have one Admin and multiple Managed servers running.
Each creates its own log file.
Is there anyway I can access this log files from the browser ?
In Apache, you can create a link from htdocs dir to the logs dir
and then view the log files from the browser. Is there a similar
mechanism in Weblogic server.
A quick response is well appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
-Anil Varma

If you are on a unix system you can do something similar by making an open
directory webapp with symbolic links to the weblogic log directories. I suggest
that you protect that webapp with administration access only.

How to configure weblogic log file?

HI
How do i configure Weblogic server log file to log weblogic related information as well as my application?
I need to maintain one log file for weblogic and my application.
Thanks,

Then glassfish instance is either not configured yet or installed somewhere else. Try looking under your user's home directory like C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\glassfish\domains\domain1\logs

Parsing a log file on Weblogic

Hi!
I'd like to know how to get started on parsing a log file present in the default directory of Weblogic (ver 6.1 to be precise).
I thought of using regular expressions, and use java.util.regex , but that is supported from JDK1.5 onwards, whereas WL6.1 supports JDK1.3.
If u can also provide the code template for the same , that would be nice.
Thanks in advance,
Deepthy.

String regex = "([^\"\\\\]++|\\\\.)++"{code} The trick is to match anything except a quotation mark or a backslash, OR match a backslash followed by anything (because the backslash is usually used to escape other characters as well, including backslashes).Superb! Thanks! I have to admit I've never used the ++ before (only the greedies), but that's the thing I was looking for.
Just for the completeness, this is the whole thing that's able to parse a log line:
{code}
public class LogParser {
private static final String NOSPACE_PARAM = "([^ ]++)";
private static final String DATE_PARAM = "([^\\]]++)";
private static final String ESCAPED_PARAM = "((?:[^\"\\\\]++|\\\\.)++)";
private static final String PATTERN_STRING = NOSPACE_PARAM

+ " \"" + ESCAPED_PARAM + "\""
+ " \"" + ESCAPED_PARAM + "\"";
private static final Pattern PATTERN = Pattern.compile(PATTERN_STRING);
public static String[] parse(String line) {
Matcher m = PATTERN.matcher(line);
if (m.matches()) {
String[] result = new String[m.groupCount()];
for (int i = 0; i < m.groupCount();) {
result[i] = m.group(++i);
return result;
return null;
{code}
Any idea about the efficiency of this thing?

Weblogic 10.1 web apps merge log4j log files into single log file

Hi
I have deployed multiple web applications on my weblogic (v 10.1 - JDK 1.5.0_12). I am using log4j-1.2.13.jar in a four different web applications.
The location for the files are - WEB-INF\lib\log4j-1.3.13.jar and WEB-INF\classes\log4j.properties
When I deployed all the four webapps in weblogic - we found that all of the apps started writing their logs into the logfile which is configured in the log4j of the first web apps log file. The "first web app" is the web app which is the first app deployed in weblogic.
I have deployed all the four webapps in Tomcat and found that four separate log files get created. Hence, this problem is unique to Weblogic.
Any suggestions on what the problem could be? I have been battling with this issue for over a week- and have exhausted all ideas.
Thank you,
Ronak S.

Hi ,
Read all about your issue here :
Weblogic 10.0 and Log4j classpath problem
Issue is that the Weblogic system classloader includes log4J already..
Use "Filtering ClassLoader" a mechanism to configure deployment descriptors to explicitly specify that certain packages should always be loaded from the application, rather than being loaded by the system classloader.
see: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs100/programming/classloading.html#wp1097187
Example:
Add following to your META-INF/weblogic-application.xml
<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>org.apache.log4j.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>
Exclude all library packages used within your applcation to have full control over what is used by the application.
regards,
Kris

How has access.log file configured in WebLogic server 10.0?

1.) I am using BEA Weblogic 10.0 and my access.log is not getting updated.
2.) I also need any information as to how this Webblogic server forms chunks (ex....access00011.log,access00012.log) because i have a software called AWStats which merges all these chunks into 1 single access.log file under its subdirectory.
3.) I also need information as to how and where the user can specify/ form his own fields which gets displayed in the access.log
FYI i have 2 servers and i checked under Logging->HTTP->advanced, in both the servers options and configurations are same but in 1 it works fine and access.log is updating but not in the other one.
Kindly let me know i you have any leads into this issue!
Thanks,
Varun

Hi Ravish,
Firstly thanks for the reply.
1.) -----
What you can do is to set the buffer-size-kb parameter value to "0" in config.xml so that it can start logging once the server starts coming up rather then waiting for the default size which is 8kb to pass.
Something like below:
<web-server-log>
<buffer-size-kb>0</buffer-size-kb>
<web-server-log>
For more details check the below link:
Search for: CR302493
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/issues/known_resolved.html
--- for this issue i had browsed throught the forum before posting but in my conf file i have something like this instead of <buffer-size-kb>0</buffer-size-kb>
<web-server>
<web-server-log>
<number-of-files-limited>false</number-of-files-limited>
<log-file-format>extended</log-file-format>
</web-server-log>
</web-server>
So how do i go about the path of debugging now??
2.) -------
If you do not want rotation of access.log then you can just disable it from the below console path just by putting Rotation type as None
Server -> <YOUR_SERVER_NAME> -> Logging (tab) -> HTTP (sub-tab) -> Rotation type: None
---- for this in both my servers i have the settings like this,
Rotation type--> By Size
Rotation File size 5000
Begin rotation time 00:00
rotation interval 24
files to retain 7
and Log file rotation directory is left blank (to get created in same directory)
and also Rotate log file on startup is unchecked.
so??? what do you suggest!?
3.) ------
I also need information as to how and where the user can specify/ form his own fields which gets displayed in the access.log
---- regarding this, in my main server the access.log is getting updated and after 4.8Mb its creating 5Mb chunks. So, for example if the entire log is of 15 Mb then access.log stops updating at 4.98Mb and accesslog.out0001 and accesslog.out0002 is created with 5Mb each but the latest entry will be stored in accesslog.out0002 file. I hope i didn't complicate this :)

Printing all messages when WEBLOGIC starts in its log file

Hello i am following all these steps
Step 1. Copy log4j-1.2.9.jar & wllog4j.jar under domain_root/lib folder.
Step 2. Create log4j.xml and drop it under domain_root folder. If you have log4j.xml inside the application(EAR/WAR), I would recommend to move outside EAR/WAR as
changing severity (log level) would require re-deployment. To avoid this, we can move log4j.xml into domain root folder but again the server needs to be bounced.
But there is a fix.
Step 3. Login to weblogic server console. Go to Servers -> Admin Server-> Logging.
Click on advanced mode. Change the logging implementation from JDK to Log4J.
Click save.
Step 4. Activate changes. Re-start the admin server.
This should enable log4j and should write logging into log file mentioned in log4j.xml or properties file.
Hang on! There is a catch here. Say now I want to change the log level from DEBUG into WARN or ERROR.
How do i do?
We go to log4j.xml and change the level.
Now how does this change take into effect? It needs bouncing of the server.
I have given below sample log4j.xml for your reference...
log4j.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM
"log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration>
<appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern"
value="%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="FILE" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="/log/myApp.log"/>
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ISO8601} %t %-5p %c{2} - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
<logger name="org.apache">
<level value="WARN"/>
</logger>
<logger name="org.springframework">
<level value="WARN"/>
</logger>
<root>
<level value="DEBUG"/>
<appender-ref ref="FILE"/>

</root>
</log4j:configuration>
I Followed all these steps , but finally i am getting an empty file myApp.log at specified destination , i want all log messages inside that file when WEBLOGIC starts , so what needs to be done for that

I guess the issue here is that somehow the log4j configurations are not getting picked up.
Please try adding the LOG4j configurations explicitly onto the classpath:-
set LOG4J_CONFIG_FILE=log4j.xml
set SAVE_JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% -Dlog4j.configuration=%LOG4J_CONFIG_FILE%
@REM set SAVE_CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%
set SAVE_CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\config

Why can't read access log file in real-time? (Oracle Weblogic Server 10.3)

We can't read access log file in real-time. If access log is rotation to new file so can read access log file but can't read real-time.
*** Oracle Weblogic Server versions 10 R3

what's your meaning? try this command "tail -f access.log".
Threre is a buffer about 8K for WebLogic to write the access info into the log files, so you can't see the access info untill the buffer is full.

Getting empty log files with log4j and WebLogic 10.0

Hi!
I get empty log files with log4j 1.2.13 and WebLogic 10.0. If I don't run the application in the application server, then the logging works fine.
The properties file is located in a jar in the LIB folder of the deployed project. If I change the name of the log file name in the properties file, it just creates a new empty file.
What could be wrong?
Thanks!

I assume that when you change the name of the expected log file in the properties file, the new empty file is that name, correct?
That means you're at least getting that properties file loaded by log4j, which is a good sign.
As the file ends up empty, it appears that no logger statements are being executed at a debug level high enough for the current debug level. Can you throw in a logger.error() call at a point you're certain is executed?

Hi,
I believe you can read log files using admin console. Go to Diagnostic--> logs and select the server which logs you want to see.

How do I move the location of my log files in WebLogic

I am using Weblogic on Windows
I have WebLogic installed on the C: drive
I want to keep WebLogic on the C: drive, but move my log files to an alternate drive
How can I do this ?
Can this be done from the console ?
Thanks

You can refer to "Changing the Name and Location of the Server Log File" in the following document :-

Does anyone have a sample Weblogic webserver log file sample ia can use for a test
on another application i am creating?
I am also looking for a portal log file as well . Any help is appreciated. Trying
to create a some reports based on these outputs.
Thanks

No, not as I know of. If you are experiencing some problems and you really want to
find more information about a problematic installation, you may do the following to
generate the debug output and you can send that debug info to me:
Windows: pressing down control key at the beginning of the installation until a
debug console window pops up.
Unix Installer ( .bin files): set LAXDEBUG=true in your environment before starting
your installation. tee or script the output to a file:
export LAXDEBUG=true
sh weblogic610.bin -i console 2>&1 | tee buildlog
Pure java installer (.zip file):
touch ia_debug
$JAVA_HOME/java -cp weblogic610.zip -i console 2>&1 | tee buildlog
The upgrade installer should have a clear log to tell you what went wrong in a
installation or uninstallation process. And the installation/uninstallation process
would be rolled back if anything went wrong. The exception is that if you manually
stoped it in some way, which way may catch and process later.

Yes, I am trying to do a full installation (in silent mode).
Every software has an installation log. Is that not pretty much standard?
How come weblogic does not have log? If something goes wrong during silent
installation, I would like to see a log file.
Are you sure that there is absolutely no log file for a full installation?

The log file for an servicepack upgrade installation lives under $BEA_HOME/logs.
Look into the directory corresponding to that servicepack.
Are you experiencing any problems with the full installer?

Where is the installation log file after WebLogic installation?
I am installing WebLogic6.1. Can I specify where the installation logfile should
go? Where is it anyway?
I searched few directories do not see where it placed the installationlo file.

Weblogic 8.1 sp4 - Autorotate log files
