What is the version of JBoss you are using?

[jeesshnasree]

hi @RuGI,

jboss 6.4 version

[RuGI]

OK, do you use it in standalone mode? or as a domain.

I ask these questions to find out where your configuration file is and to know where to validate that the logs are active.

Version 6.4 is not the most current, do you use that version for questions with your client?

Hi @RuGI,

standalone mode . could you please let me know if any queries.

[RuGI · Accepted solution]

In the folder of your installation (we will call it JBOSS_HOME), this path must exist:
JBOSS_HOME / standalone / configuration

In that folder there is a file called:
standalone.xml

This file has all the configuration of your server.
You are going to locate the subsystem of logs, it is this:

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.5">
            <console-handler name="CONSOLE">
                <level name="INFO"/>
                <formatter>
                    <named-formatter name="COLOR-PATTERN"/>
                </formatter>
            </console-handler>
            <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">
                <formatter>
                    <named-formatter name="PATTERN"/>
                </formatter>
                <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>
                <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>
                <append value="true"/>
            </periodic-rotating-file-handler>
            <logger category="com.arjuna">
                <level name="WARN"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler">
                <level name="WARN"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="org.jboss.as.config">
                <level name="DEBUG"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="sun.rmi">
                <level name="WARN"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="jacorb">
                <level name="WARN"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="jacorb.config">
                <level name="ERROR"/>
            </logger>
            <root-logger>
                <level name="INFO"/>
                <handlers>
                    <handler name="CONSOLE"/>
                    <handler name="FILE"/>
                </handlers>
            </root-logger>
            <formatter name="PATTERN">
                <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>
            </formatter>
            <formatter name="COLOR-PATTERN">
                <pattern-formatter pattern="%K{level}%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>
            </formatter>
        </subsystem>
        
        
Assign all your logs to DEBUG level:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.5">
            <console-handler name="CONSOLE">
                <level name="DEBUG"/>
                <formatter>
                    <named-formatter name="COLOR-PATTERN"/>
                </formatter>
            </console-handler>
            <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">
                <formatter>
                    <named-formatter name="PATTERN"/>
                </formatter>
                <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>
                <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>
                <append value="true"/>
            </periodic-rotating-file-handler>
            <logger category="com.arjuna">
                <level name="DEBUG"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler">
                <level name="DEBUG"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="org.jboss.as.config">
                <level name="DEBUG"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="sun.rmi">
                <level name="DEBUG"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="jacorb">
                <level name="DEBUG"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="jacorb.config">
                <level name="DEBUG"/>
            </logger>
            <root-logger>
                <level name="DEBUG"/>
                <handlers>
                    <handler name="CONSOLE"/>
                    <handler name="FILE"/>
                </handlers>
            </root-logger>
            <formatter name="PATTERN">
                <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>
            </formatter>
            <formatter name="COLOR-PATTERN">
                <pattern-formatter pattern="%K{level}%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>
            </formatter>
        </subsystem>
        
        
Restart your server.

All the logs are in the folder:
JBOSS_HOME/standalone/log

Whatever happens, it must be reflected in the logs.

Hi @RuGI,

i configure DEBUG in all level as per your document in standalone.xml . I hope in future if JVM automatically stop then  logs will be generate for the issue.  Thanks for your valuable support.
