Viewing server and connection broker log files

The server log file records server activities. Server logs provide valuable information for troubleshooting server or repository problems.

Connection broker logs record information about connection brokers, which provide connection information to clients.

Note

If you are connected to a secondary server, you see only the server and connection broker logs for that server.

To view server or connection broker logs:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Basic Configuration > Content Servers.

  2. Select the server configuration object of the server whose log you want to view.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • Select View > Server Log, select the log to view, then click View Log.

      The server log is displayed.

    • Select View > Connection broker Log, select the log to view, then click View Log.

      The connection broker log is displayed.

To delete server log files, run the Log Purge tool. For more information about the tool, refer to Log purge (dm_LogPurge).
