The Abiquo Logs are described in detail in the Troubleshooting section of this wikithe Abiquo wiki for each version of Abiquo. |
Log Files
A current log is created for each webapp in the directory \{catalina.base}/logs/
In a standard install, this is /opt/abiquo/tomcat/logs. The logs are named after the webapps and renamed with date information when they are rotated.
In Abiquo 2.4, the logs arethe log files have the format *.log, for example:
| Code Block |
|---|
am.log api.log bpm-async.log catalina.out nodecollectornars.log ssm.log virtualfactory.log vsm.log |
...
The default logback.xml file for the VSM in Abiquo 2.4 is shown here. Note that some of the loggers are set to a log level of TRACE, which (in the example below: com.abiquo and akka). This can create large amounts of log data. A log level of DEBUG should be sufficient for most Abiquo installations.

<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<fileNamePattern>${catalina.base}/logs/nodecollector-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.log</fileNamePattern>
<timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP">
<maxFileSize>50MB</maxFileSize>
<maxHistory>{NUMBER OF FILES TO KEEP}</maxHistory>
</timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>
</rollingPolicy> |
To enable automatic log compression, set the filename extension as .gz for each log file. This will compress each log automatically to GZIP format each midnight with the daily rollover. For instance, if you want to compress nodecollector logs you would issue:

<fileNamePattern>${catalina.base}/logs/nodecollector-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.log.gz</fileNamePattern>

Disk Requirements
This section describes how to calculate the disk space requirements for the webapp logs. Customers must determine their own logging requirements.
