Services log files
All of the Services use rotating log files saved in the installation directory. The file names are based on the service's short name (for example, the TMTM Topic Service is qpts; and the log file is qpts.log) and are stored in the same directory as the executable. The newest log file is .log with each subsequent log file appending a number. The larger the number, the older the log file. For instance, the TMTM Topic Service log files are:
- qpts.log
- qpts.log.1
- qpts.log.2.
The TMTM Application Service has several different log files. They all start with qpas-*.log.
For example:
- qpas-apacheds.log
- qpas-axis.log
- qpas-certs.log
- qpas-report.log
- qpas-rpes.log
- qpas-sched.log
- qpas-slide.log
- qpas-sws.log
- qpas-tunnel.log
- qpas-webmc.log
- qpas-wrapper.log
The TMTM Client Gateway Service log file is called qpcgateway_1.log and is located in the application install directory, or the system environment variable directory if it is configured. Typically, you should not adjust any log settings without first contacting BMC Support.
To modify a service's log level
- Open a text editor and create a file named qplog.ini. On UNIX systems the file name is case sensitive.
- Copy the new file to the TrueSight Middleware and Transaction Monitor installation directory.
- Add the information shown in the following sample:
