Tracing and Logging
Security tracing and logging are important elements for securing your application server systems. Therefore, the AS Java includes monitoring and administration functions for the early detection and investigation of deviations from established security policies. The tracing and logging functions allow you to display security events for the entire AS Java system landscape, as well as for individual AS Java.
The logging and tracing functions on the AS Java enable you to generate logs and traces for events affecting all components on the AS Java. To facilitate information requirements for different levels of troubleshooting, logs are recorded by categories and traces by component location. In addition, you can use the administration tools of the AS Java to generate logs and traces of system events with different severity levels.
