Bonita LOGS

Q&A
1

Hello,

I have the Bonita community version 6.3.8 with tomcat and mysql.

I need to monitor the application via the logs (generated when I use Bonita portal).

I found that I have logs generated by tomcat but it is not realy what I need. And also I found logs in /btm/work/btm1 and 2 but it is not readable.

Could you please tell me if Bonita create some other logs?

Thanks in advance,
David

Hi.

You can find logs file here :
C:\BonitaBPMCommunity-6.3.8\workspace\tomcat\logs

In file with a name like “bonita.yyyy.mm.dd” you can find your process logs.

Hello David,

You have some information here :
http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/logging
here :
http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/technical-logger-service
and here
http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/queriable-logger-service

The queriable logs are available in Bonita Subscription.

You can create also you own log if needed throughout the process.

Hopefully it helps.

What do you actually want in the sense of monitoring via the logs?

People logging in? Process Start/End?

While the other answers are correct, letting us know what you need might give a more directed answer.

Thanks for your responses.

In fact, I need to check the start/end of process with the status of the job.

This is an interesting one…

When using the tomcat bundle unless you change the logging options this information does not appear in the logs at all, log configuration is done in tomcat/conf/logging.properties, see my comment below of where to find this file.

Personally, rather than use the logs, and because you want to use this as Business Data, I would add my own logging via Pool On Entry and Pool on Exit Scripts and save the data to an external database table. The you can interrogate it at will and not effect the online service.

As for Status, that’s a tough one, especially when you have a well written process. A failure can be considered a successful execution if the error is handled correctly. This is an even stronger reason to not use the logs for this type of activity but your own logging.

I am in a Linux env, when I can find this log file?

Thanks

The logs will be under your tomcat root, where ever that is…

Basically find where tomcat is installed and there will be a directory called logs…

Tomcat’s directory srtucture is the same for all environments.
