bwagent Logging

The bwagent creates a log file called bwagent.log that is saved in the BW_HOME/logs folder.

The default log is configured as a daily roller appender and is automatically compressed as a ZIP file. The default logging level is INFO. The logback configuration file is BW_HOME/bin/bwagent-logback.xml. When the bwagent is started, the bwagent.log log file is created. If the bwagent could not be started, informational messages will be displayed to help track down the cause. For the default logging level, the bwagent displays messages similar to the following. 
C:\work\BW-v25\bw\6.6\bin>bwagent
