Exporting Logs to a File

You can update the logback.xml file to export plug-in logs to a file.

1. In Windows system, navigate to 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 where the log is exported:

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

   The value of the file element is the absolute path of the file that stores the exported log.

3. Add the following node to the root node at the end of the logback.xml file:

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

4. Save the file.
