Logging in Remedy Smart Reporting
Remedy Smart Reporting has several logging facilities for different parts of the application. The main Remedy Smart Reporting application log (smartreporting.log) is in the C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\SmartReporting\appserver\logs directory. The smartreporting.log file contains error and warning messages and information about Remedy Smart Reporting.
You can configure Remedy Smart Reporting to log additional debugging information in this file. Go to the log4j.properties file in C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\SmartReporting\appserver\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF and uncomment the following line:
log4j.category.com.hof=DEBUG
This sets the logging level to DEBUG.
Note
When you set the log level to DEBUG, the log file size increases quickly. After you have finished debugging, turn the debugging off by commenting the following line:log4j.category.com.hof=DEBUG
Then, restart the Remedy Smart Reporting server.
Alternatively, you can replace DEBUG
with INFO
to stop the DEBUG logging.
