4 Click Apply changes.
5 (Optional) Click the Generate log report link to export the log files.
This operation creates a ZIP archive of all log files.
The new log level is applied to any new messages that the server generates, without restarting the server. The
logs are stored in
install_directory
\app-server\server\vmo\log\.
Filter the Orchestrator Log Files
You can filter the Orchestrator server logs for a specific workflow run and collect diagnostic data about the
workflow run.
The Orchestrator logs contain a lot of useful information, but not every log entry has diagnostic context. When
multiple instances of the same workflow are running at the same time, you can track the different workflow
runs by filtering the diagnostic data about each run in the Orchestrator logs.
Procedure
1 Log in as an administrator to the machine on which the Orchestrator server is installed.
2 Navigate to the log4j.xml file and open it in a text editor.
Option Action
If you installed the standalone
version of Orchestrator
Go to
install_directory
\VMware\Orchestrator\app-
server\server\vmo\conf\log4j.xml.
If the vCenter Server installed
Orchestrator
Go to
install_directory
\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-
server\server\vmo\conf\log4j.xml.

<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param
name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSZ} %-5p
[%c{1}] %m%n"/> </layout>
