Enabling logging for the File System plug-in

To troubleshoot plug-in related issues, you must enable plug-in logging. You can enable logging by changing the plug-in log level in the System Configuration form or by editing the plug-in log level in the log4j_pluginsvr.xml file.

  3. Select the File System (RMDY.ITSM.RKM.FILESYSTEM) check box.
  4. Click Search, and then click Save.

The arjavaplugin.log file generates the debug logs for the File System plug-in without restarting the AR System server.

To enable logs by using the Plugin Server Configuration form

  1. In a browser, open the AR System Administration Console, and click System > General > Plugin Server Configuration.
  2. On the Plugin Server Configuration form, from the Plugin Server Instance list, select the instance for which you want to enable logs.
  3. Go to the Plugin Server Configuration tab.
  4. In the Logging Configurations area, from the Log Level list, select DEBUG.
  5. Click Apply.
    The arjavaplugin.log file generates the debug logs for the File System plug-in.
