Loading Log Files

You can load multiple log files in the Log Viewer, providing your JVM memory settings allow it.

There are three ways you can load log files into Log Viewer.
  • You can drag and drop your log files to the Log Viewer to automatically load the log files.
  • When running Log Viewer from a console window, if you also include the filename of the log file you want to open, the log file is automatically loaded when the Log Viewer displays. For example, logviewer -f BPM.log.
  • You can use the Files dialog, as described below.

The Log Viewer can easily run out of memory if too many log files are loaded. If the Log Viewer runs out of memory, an Out Of Memory error message displays in the console window. To resolve this, increase the -Xmx parameter in the .

Procedure

  1. From Log Viewer, click Files.
  2. From File Manager, click Add File.
  3. From New Log Source, either type in the file path of the BPM log file you want to open or click Browse to browse to its location. See "BPM Log Files Location" in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Troubleshooting Guide.
    You can add as many log files as you like. Log files must be added one at a time. You can remove a log file at any time by selecting the log file and clicking Remove Entry.
  4. If the log file you have selected has archive log files, then clicking Load Archives automatically loads the archive log files.
    Archive log files are log files that Log4j creates when a log file is rolled over. A log file is rolled over when it has reached its file size limit. See "Increasing the File Size of Your BPM Log Files" in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Troubleshooting Guide.
  5. Once you have selected the log file, click OK twice to return to the Log Viewer.
