Configure engine logging

The Spotfire Statistics Services engine generates a log containing information for troubleshooting. Each job receives its own log file with information pertaining to that job.

Engine Log File

You can use the information in the engine.log file to troubleshoot issues related to the engine. The file contains information about the engine process life cycle, such as loading of libraries, establishing communication with the server, and details of the job execution inside the engine, which include all the messages sent and received by the engine process, the actual code executed, arguments passed, and other details.

The engine.log is located in the results directory of each specific job. To review the log file for a job, find the link in the ResultsDir property for that job. For example: 
<ResultsDir>
http://localhost:8966/<service_name>/webdav/results/9C347CC9BF333EEF/
</ResultsDir>

While you cannot change the logging level provided by the default engine.log, you can create a log4j engine logging file with configurable settings.
