Logfiles


Log is an important part of troubleshooting and debugging. With the Tomcat container, there are various levels of log that can be set for different purposes. In the TOMCAT_HOME/log folder, you will find the following types of logs:

  • Tomcat log: These are present in the files catalina.log and localhost.log. All the Tomcat engine logs are present in catalina.log and the virtual host that is configured by Tomcat, which is localhost, is present in the localhost.log file.

  • Bonita log: The log generated by the Bonita Execution Engine are present in the bonita.log file. This contains the information related to every action that is done on the user experience.

The logging levels can be changed from the logging.properties files in the TOMCAT_HOME/conf folder.
