Configuring Progress Unified Broker Log Files

A Unified Broker installation generates a total of three log files, which (by default) are stored in the working directory with the following default names, where type is the Unified Broker type (for example, AS for AppServer) and instance-name is the name of the Unified Broker or NameServer instance:

For disk management reasons, you might want to specify a nondefault location for the log files used by a Unified Broker. After you decide where you want these log files to reside, you can remotely specify the location for each one in the Progress Explorer or by directly editing the ubroker.properties file. For more information, see the "Configuring Progress Unified Broker Components" section.

You can also view these log files remotely using the Progress Explorer or locally on UNIX using the system text file commands and utilities.

The instance-name.broker.log and NameServer instance-name.log files include:

The instance-name.server.log file includes all trace messages and Progress system messages that are not assigned an output destination by the OUTPUT TO KEEP-MESSAGES statement.

Because log files receive Unified Broker and NameServer startup and shutdown messages, Progress system messages, and trace messages, they can grow quickly. Also, they do not truncate automatically and can grow indefinitely. To manage disk space, periodically trim the file with a text editor after archiving any information that you want to save.
