Logging in Lobster_data

Database-based Logs


The logs in Control Center/Logs are stored in the database. The following comments only apply if a relational database is used for logging (standard case).

See also section Retention Periods of Backup Files and Logs.

Overview

All log messages that have been generated during profile runs (jobs) (including erroneous jobs). The corresponding tables are dw_log_sum and dw_log .

Errors

Only the errors from the Overview are listed here. The corresponding table is xml_datawizard_error.

General Messages

Log messages that cannot be assigned to a particular job and therefore do not appear on pages Overview or Errors . This is the case, for example, if an error occurred in phase 1 of a profile run, but no job has been created yet. The corresponding table is dw_log (job number dw_job = 0). Here you will also find log messages for the add-on modules Content Inspection and ENGDAT.

ASM Messages

Log messages for the add-on module ASM are listed here. The corresponding tables are dw_asm_log and dw_asm_log_detail .

Comm Log

You need an additional license for the CommLog. Additional log messages can be generated for communications with partner systems that are conducted via channels. The corresponding tables are comm_log*.

Server Logs

These logs are not database-based but file-based. See the following section.

File-based Logs


Lobster_data uses the LogService for logging, which in turn uses a number of LogManagers (there are several types of LogManagers, but by default the FileLogManager (file-based) is used).

All file-based logs are stored in folder ./logs. You can access them directly in the file system or in the Control Center (→ Logs → Server-Logs) or in the Admin Console (→ Log-Monitor).

The following FileLogManagers are available in Lobster_data by default. You will find daily files message.log (messages that are not error-related) and error.log (error messages). In addition, some subfolders may also contain trace files (also called client logs) that contain connection details.

Additionally, the folder ./logs contains a few log files that are not displayed in the Control Center or the Admin Console.
