Out-of-the-box wt.properties Log File Settings
This section provides information about some of the common log file settings in the wt.properties file that are used in Windchill.
The wt.logs.dir property sets the default directory used for log files. Out of the box, this property is set to <Windchill>/logs.
Log file naming and contents are primarily controlled by the log4j configuration. The log4j configuration for the server manager and method server is specified in wt.properties as follows:
wt.manager.log4j.config=WEB-INF/log4jServerManager.properties
wt.method.log4j.config=WEB-INF/log4jMethodServer.properties
PTC recommends that you do not change the log file settings because log file consistency simplifies interactions with technical support.
The main method server and server manager log files contain all of messages generated from the existing code as well as those messages generated using the log4j loggers. The list presented in
Managing Windchill Logging provides details on existing information about working with log files.
