The Logs page is a log viewer for developers to view log information directly from the Administration Interface.
From this page you can view, filter, navigate and refresh logs.
Advanced users can also add logs to the list of logs to display in the "Log View" list.
This procedure describes how to view a log file.

The following procedure describes how to activate and deactivate the Auto refresh option. The Auto refresh option sets the log information to display the most recent log entries in the last lines of the log that is currently being viewed. Therefore, as the log changes over time, the content in the view is always current. This feature provides an easy way to view errors in "almost real-time". (Because the refresh rate is in seconds, there is at least a 3-5 second display lag, which is why the Auto refresh feature is not considered true real-time logging.)

|
|
To activate Auto refresh:
|
|
As long as the log is displayed, the information is refreshed. Each time you choose another log or exit the page, the settings are reset. |
|
It is possible to add and display other logs that are specific to your environment in the Log Tail page.
To add other logs requires that you view and access backend application files which, in normal circumstances, should not be changed. For this reason, we request that you perform this task only if you clearly understand the instructions. If for some reason the system does not load or malfunctions, please re-install Zend Server for IBM i.
Power users may edit the XML file in /gui /application/data/logfiles.xml to add as many logs as they may have.
