The General Information page opens.
A Log Viewer window opens.
For the Time value, the syntax must take the following form (SSS stands for milliseconds):
hh:mm:ss.SSS
For example:
17:10:00.000
If the From value is later than the To value, an error message appears.
By default, the display includes all messages that appear in the server log at the chosen log level and more severe levels.
To ensure that the messages you want to view appear in the server log, first set the appropriate log levels on the Module Log Levels page. See To Configure Log Levels.
If you choose to filter log messages based on log level, only messages matching the specified filter criteria are shown. However, this filtering does not affect which messages are logged to the server log.
Use shift-click or control-click to choose multiple namespaces.
Selecting a namespace at a higher level selects all the namespaces below it. For example, selecting javax.enterprise.system also selects the loggers for all the modules under that namespace: javax.enterprise.system.core, javax.enterprise.system.tools.admin, and so on.
If the application has several modules, you can view any or all of them. For example, suppose the application has loggers with the following names:
com.mycompany.myapp.module1 com.mycompany.myapp.module2 com.mycompany.myapp.module3
To view messages from all modules in the application, type com.mycompany.myapp. To view messages from module2 only, type com.mycompany.myapp.module2.
When you specify one or more custom loggers, messages from GlassFish Server modules appear only if you specify them explicitly in the Logger area.
The key name is _ThreadID. For example:
_ThreadID=13
Suppose that com.mycompany.myapp.module2 runs in several threads. To refine the log viewer to show only the output from a single thread, specify that module’s logger in the Custom Logger field, and then specify the thread ID in this field.
The default number of messages displayed is 40. Other choices are 100, 250, and 1000.
To view stack traces, deselect the “Limit excessively long messages” checkbox. By default, stack traces do not appear in the viewer; to view them, click the (details) link for a message.
The Search Results area displays the 40 most recent entries in the server log, with the settings specified on the Logging Settings and Log Levels pages.
A window labeled Log Entry Detail appears, with a formatted version of the message.
