Troubleshooting the REST API

To understand errors from the REST API, examine the status code of the response along with the response body if present. If that does not help, and you have access to the application's logs, look at the log file for the REST APIs and services. The steps to set the log level for the REST APIs and services are explained as follows:

To set the log level

1. You can configure the log level from the CMDB Portal to collect more log information. 
2. On the CMDB Portal, select Configurations> Core Configurations > CMDB Services.
3. Set the log level of CMDB Services component to Info or Debug as shown in the following figure:

For more information, see CMDB Services configuration settings.

For setting up CMDB Engine logging, see Contents of the logs.
