Logger Settings
Use the Logger Settings page to configure logging for the GlassFishTM Server.
The Logger Settings page contains the following options.
- Write to System Log
If this option is selected, logging output is sent to the syslog facility in addition to the server log. This feature is available on Solaris and Linux systems only. This option is disabled by default.
- Log File
An alternative name or location for the server log file. The default location is glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log.
- Log Handler
The absolute class name of a custom log handler. A custom log handler enables you to send logs to a destination other than server.log or syslog. The custom handler must extend the class java.util.logging.Handler (a JSR 047 compliant API). Put the handler class in the GlassFish Server classpath so that the handler is installed during server startup.
- File Rotation Limit
The size in bytes that the server log file must reach before it is rotated. When the server log reaches the specified size, the GlassFish Server creates a new, empty file named server.log and renames the old file server.log_date, where date is the date and time when the file was rotated. The default value is 2 megabytes. The minimum value for the limit is 500 kilobytes; if you specify a lower value, the file rotates when it reaches 500 KB. To turn off log file rotation, set the value to 0.
- File Rotation Time Limit
The number of minutes after which the server log must be rotated. The default value is 0, which means that the file is rotated when it reaches the size specified in the File Rotation Limit field. If you specify one or more minutes, the time limit takes precedence over the size limit specified by the File Rotation Limit field.
- Flush Frequency
The maximum number of messages to be written from the queue to the server log at a time. The default value is 1.
