attempt is made to start the server, this file is renamed by appending _PREV to
the file name.
The domain’s Administration Server stores a copy of the Managed Server log files in
the a directory name
NodeManagerClientLogs. This directory is created one
directory level above the Administration Server’s root directory (by default, the
directory in which you started the server). The
NodeManagerClientLogs directory
contains a subdirectory for each Managed Server you attempted to start with Node
Manager. Each log in these subdirectories corresponds to an attempt to carry out some
action, such as starting or killing the server process. The name of the log file includes
a timestamp that indicates the time at which the action was attempted.
You can view the standard output and error messages for a server, as well as Node
Manager’s log messages for a particular Managed Server, on its
Server->Monitoring->Remote Start Output tab.
Node Manager Log Files
Node Manager generates its own log files, which contain Node Manager startup and
status messages. Node Manager log files are placed in the
NodeManagerLogs\NodeManagerInternal subdirectory. The log files using the
naming convention
NodeManagerInternal_timestamp,wheretimestamp
indicates the time at which Node Manager started.
Because Node Manager creates a new log file (with a unique timestamp) each time it
starts, you should periodically remove the
NodeManagerLogs subdirectory to reclaim
the space used by old log files.
