Viewing log files

JavaEE server (JBoss / WildFly)

The nevisAuth server writes all error and tracing information to the following file:

/var/opt/nevisauth/default/log/esauth4sv.log

To look for errors inside these log files, use the following command:

nevisauth default log show err

or (if you have direct file access)

grep ERROR /var/opt/nevisauth/default/log/*.log

The above command only covers the most recent versions of all log files.

Log files are versioned similar to the UNIX syslog files with a numeric version postfix.

Standalone deployment

Instances created with the nevisauth inst create command

  • Expect the following configuration: /var/opt/nevisauth/[instance]/conf/log4j.xml.
  • Use the supplied /var/opt/nevisauth/[instance]/conf/log4j.xml, which contains settings to log to /var/opt/nevisauth/[instance]/log/esauth4sv.log.

If you directly start nevisAuth with the nevisauth-server binary, you can provide the log4j configuration via the --log-config argument.

In case no log configuration is provided, nevisAuth logs to the standard output (console) by default.

The nevisauth log command is not supported for standalone deployments.
