To view the contents of a REST Web application log file, access the viewer associated with each individual log file.
The log file viewer allows you to examine the contents of a REST Web application log file in HTML format. You can access a log file viewer from the following location:
Click the Log File Viewer button in the REST Applications section of the REST Applications page. The log file viewer button appears with every deployed application.
The following information will help you use the REST Web application log file viewer:
Use the Show field to control how many OE Web Server log file entries appear at one time. The number entered into the Show field cannot be less than 10.
Use the Overlap field to control how many entries are repeated from screen to screen.
Note: The value in the Overlap field must not be more than the number in the Show field minus one. For example, if you show 30 entries, you can overlap only 29 or fewer of them.
Click Reload after changing the values in either the Show field or Overlap field. OpenEdge Management prompts you to click Reload. A warning message that reads changed, reload needed appears in the File log status field in the log file summary section of the page.
If you do not reload, the viewer displays the previous values.
Click Go To to control which numbered entry in the log file the viewer begins its display with. For example, a value of 10 entered into the Go To field begins the display from the tenth log file entry.
Note: You must click Go To after entering a value in the Go To field, or the viewer will not update its display.
The default display of entries is in ascending order. Choose Descending to change the display. Note that the Show field dictates the number of entries shown, whether they appear in ascending or descending order.
Click First to display the first x entries, where x is the value in the Show field.
Click Prior to display the previous x entries, where x is the value in the Show field.
Click Next to display the next x entries, where x is the value in the Show field.
Click Last to display the last x entries, where x is the value in the Show field.
To view additional log file entries without changing your current starting log file entry, leave the Go To field blank, change the value in the Show field, and click Reload.
Click the Log File Viewer button in the REST Applications section of the REST Applications page. The log file viewer button appears with every deployed application.
