Using the Verbose Logs Feature

To use the Verbose Log feature:

Procedure

  1. Specify the Verbose Logs location.
    1. Select Use NFS.
      TIBCO Mashery highly recommends using NFS location for verbose logs so that local system usage is not impacted. In addition, all the nodes in a cluster (the Master and Slaves) can write to the same centralized location for easier, further analysis.
      1. Enter the NFS host name.
      2. Enter the NFS directory name.
      3. Click Save.

      The specified NFS directory is mounted onto /mnt/nfs/home local directory location.

    2. If you do not select Use NFS (not recommended), verbose logs will be saved to the local directory. The default directory </var/log/mashery/verbose> can be changed.

  2. Enable Verbose Logs.
    1. Select duration for capturing the logs (05, 10, 15, or 30 minutes).
    2. Click Enable.

      After you enable verbose logs, Mashery Local writes the call data logs that include inbound request data, inbound processed data, outbound response data, and outbound processed data. Verbose logs (call data capturing) is disabled after the selected time duration expires.
      You must set the Verbose Logs Location on each node in the cluster including Master and all Slaves. Enabling or disabling verbose logs can only occur on the Master node. The Slave nodes just inherit the current verbose log enablement status from the Master.
