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: When deploying an application in TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, you must 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-snowflake.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 exported and its value is the absolute path to the file.

   Note: The file path must include the file name.
3. Add the following node to the root node at the bottom of the logback.xml file to enable exporting the logs to a file.

   	<appender-ref ref="FILE" />

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

4. Save the file.
