2.4 Viewing logs
Log files monitor activity for Admin Server and can help troubleshoot server problems. Admin
Server logs use the Common Logfile Format, a broadly supported format that provides information
about the server.
Admin Server generates two kinds of logs:
Access logs Access logs show requests to and responses from the Admin Server. By default,
the file is located at /var/opt/dirsrv/admin-serv/log/access.
Error logs Error logs show messages for errors which the server has encountered since
the log file was created. It also contains informational messages about the
server, such as when the server was started and who tried unsuccessfully to
log on to the server. By default, the file is located at /var/opt/dirsrv/
admin-serv/log/error.
The logs can be viewed through Admin Server Console or by opening the log file.
2.4.1 Viewing the logs through the console
1. Open the Admin Server management window.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Expand the Logs directory, and click the log file name, either Accesses or Error.
