Log file not creating

Questions
1

I am running 2022.3.4.3746_LTS. I’ve attached my log config file.

servoy_log.txt is not getting created. Any thoughts as to what might be wrong with the config?

log4j2.txt (2.07 KB)

Sorry, the file looks not like valid xml to me (and to my XML-Minimizer).
If that’s the file you tried to use to configure the log, then that is the problem.

I fixed the empty lines and some “-” in wrong places, it should look like this, and that’s similar to my config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

My file didn’t paste in well. My file is the same as yours.

The log-file gets created in the home-directory (“${web:attr.servoy.application_server.dir}”) that is set in the war export or in your tomcat-settings.

Are you sure that you are looking in the correct directory?

The file should be in the same directory as the servoy-properties, which is listed in the Servoy-Admin-Page under “Server Information”

I have the servoy.properties file but no logs. I searched the entire server.

Do you have any other entries in the systemlog (on Unix style systems) or the tomcat-logs?

If I shutdown my logging-server I get errors in syslog:

2024-04-22T01:10:19.633778+02:00 BPC3Test tomcat9[90637]: ERROR StatusConsoleListener TcpSocketManager (TCP:192.168.1.202:12201) caught exception and will continue:
2024-04-22T01:10:19.633853+02:00 BPC3Test tomcat9[90637]: java.io.IOException: Unable to create socket for 192.168.1.202 at port 12201

I would hope you get more insights into the problem. (do you get logs if you don’t supply any log4j.xml on war-export?)
