Logs in Weblogic on a server different than the admin server

Question

I am very new to WebLogic.

I have a WebLogic domain in which there are 2 servers running one of which is the admin server and on both servers there are webservices that I am trying to test.

Whenever a request is sent to the url of the admin server, the output is showing in the server logs while when using that of the second server, nothing is showing although I configured the logging for both servers in the same way.

Appreciate any help.

EDIT :

Sorry I forgot to mention that I am using log4j for the webservices loggin

Solution

As Viccari suggested, you should be able to find the logs in the following locations:

• Server 1 node(Admin Server) :

  [WL home]/user_projects/domains/[your domain]/servers/AdminServer/logs
  

• Server 2 node:

  [WL home]/user_projects/domains/[your domain]/servers/Server2_name/logs
  

Further, I would recommend starting the servers from the command-line and capture the output of those started processes into additional logging files, for example:

• For AdminServer:

  [WL home]/user_projects/domains/[your domain]/startWeblogic.sh | tee log.AdminServer

• For Server2:

  [WL home]/user_projects/domains/[your domain]/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh server2_name t3://adminServer:7001 | tee log.server2_name

These logs will e.g. show you the output of System.out.println() called in your Webservices.

Also, have a look into the [WL home]/user_projects/domains/[your domain]/bin/startWeblogic.sh script and set the variable WLS_REDIRECT_LOG to a value pointing to a file where you want to store the Weblogic output.

Can you please share the configurations on [WL web console]/Servers/[Your server]/Log ? Also, go to your [WL home]/user_projects/domains/[your domain]/servers/[your server]/logs folder in the file system, as it is the default location.

Hi, well actually I am able to see the logs for the server, but not those of the webservices. Sorry maybe I should've mentioned that I'm using log4j

[Viccari]

Ok. What about pasting your log4j configuration here? Also, check your deployment's log configuration. The problem might be there.
