Re: Domain Log viewer url

This seem to be a problem on the path side on Solaris. It worked as expected on windows XP without deploying an application.
It would certainly help if the documentation provided property syntax. What is the procedure to open an RFE?

Thanks,

It's intriguing why alternate docroot does not work. Jan -- do you know?
Maybe you need to deploy an application and then Request with have enough
information to be able to serve it from alt docroot? I don't know.

Also, I think you can file an RFE against admin console to better assist
you in defining alternate docroots. As you can see, it does have a property
sheet, but you need to know the exact syntax for the alt docroot specification.

We need to monitor the logs via Site Scope and/or Load runner. These tools directly hit the log files but our remote so cannot access via the file system.
Other alternative was to change the docroot but I haven't had much success with that either.  I tried setting the domain.xml but no change:

<virtual-server hosts="${com.sun.aas.hostName}" http-listeners="http-listener-1,http-listener-2" id="server" log-file="${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/logs/server.log" state="on">
          <property name="docroot" value="${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/docroot"/>
          <property name="alternatedocroot_1" value="from=/logs/* dir=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}"/>
          <property name="accesslog" value="${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/logs/access"/>
          <property name="sso-enabled" value="false"/>
</virtual-server>

And the alternate root is not even listed in the asadmin GUI, see below:

Right, doing docroot based copying/linking is fragile.

I know there is no RBAC in GlassFish admin yet, but I'd like
to know why a non-admin user would like to see server's log files?

All,

Creating a soft link doesn't work either :-(.

Since the name of the log files won't change, can you add a link directly to the file?

Thanks for the response.
We need a web viewer hence a direct url would be useful. I tried adding a soft link to the logs directory under the docroot for the domain but that doesn't work.

The logs are stored as text files in glassfish/domains/{name of domain}/logs, though that will only work if you have read access to the directory that glassfish is installed in. Failing that, you could set up a link to those files from somewhere that you can read from.

All,

We need a way to be able to view the log files without logging into the asadmin GUI. Is there a direct url to the domain log files?

Thanks,
