Exporting Logs to a File

Modify the logback.xml file to export plug-in logs to a file.

1. Navigate to the TIBCO_HOME/bw/version_number/config/design/logback directory and open the logback.xml file.
   Note: After deploying an application in TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, navigate to the TIBCO_HOME/bw/version_number/domains/domain_name/appnodes/space_name/node_name directory to find the logback.xml file.
2. Add the following node to specify the file location.

   <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
      <file>c:/bw6-helloworld.log</file>
         <encoder>
           <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36}-%msg%n</pattern>
         </encoder>
   </appender>

   The file tag defines the location to which the log is to be exported, and the value is the absolute path of the file.

   Note: You also have to add the file name in the file path.
3. Add the following node to the root node at the bottom of the logback.xml file to export the logs to a file.

   <root level="DEBUG">
      <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
      <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
   </root>

4. Save the file.
