Enabling the diagnostic trace service

Use this task to enable the diagnostic trace service, which is the logging service that can manage the amount of detail contained in the Common Base Event.

Why and when to perform this task

The diagnostic trace service is the only logger type that can provide the level of detail required to capture the detail contained in the elements of Common Base Events. You must enable the diagnostic trace service before you start the server or cluster in order to log events. The service must also be enabled if you use the administrative console to select service component event points for monitoring using the CEI server.

To enable the diagnostic trace service for a server or cluster, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Display the detail settings page for the server or cluster.
    Option Description
    For a server
    1. In the navigation pane, click Servers > Application Servers.
    2. In the content pane, click the name of the server.
    For a cluster
    1. In the navigation pane, click Servers > Clusters.
    2. In the content pane, click the name of the cluster.
  2. Under Troubleshooting, click Diagnostic Trace service.
  3. Select the Enable log check box. This option is selected by default.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Save your changes to the master configuration.

What to do next

If the server or cluster was already started, then you must restart it for the changes to take effect.
