Logging/Debugging doesn't work in CAS 5.0.2

[RJ Guroo]

Am I the only one with logging/debugging challenges ?

Log config:

Errors in catalina.out:

Thanks

I have also had issues trying to get logging to work - I posted something earlier but got no response from the list.   

Considering the overlay concept is supposed to be a good starting point, I am finding the learning curve steep and frustrating.  The documentation seems to assume that I have a point of reference that I actually don't have yet.  Some aspects are good, and others leave me flailing.  I will continue to plod along because I need to successfully build and deploy our next CAS server.  Gettting the logs setup is key to troubleshooting.  I have tried multiple configurations and I am getting no success.

I would love to be get past some of the simple configuration things to get to the more complex things like LDAP configuration, clearpass, and SAML.

John,

What is the purpose of the CasAppender tags. I do not have them in my log config, and they are generating errors.
You can change the name of the appender.

<RollingFile name="auditlogfile" fileName="cas_audit.log" append="true" ...

becomes

<RollingFile name="casAudit" fileName="cas_audit.log" append="true" ...

My config is pretty similar and it is working OK.
No logging-related errors, at least. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, as I
had to change

<Configuration monitorInterval="5" packages="org.apereo.cas.logging">
<Properties>
<Property name="logDir">/opt/tomcat/logs/</Property>
</Properties>
<Appenders>
<RollingFile name="file" fileName="cas.log" append="true"
filePattern="cas-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH}-%i.log">


to

<Configuration monitorInterval="5" packages="org.apereo.cas.logging">
<Appenders>
<RollingFile name="file" fileName="/opt/tomcat/logs/cas.log"
append="true" filePattern="cas-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH}-%i.log">

to get some logging.

Just in case org.apereo.cas.logging.CasAppender is the missing class, check
for cas-server-core-logging-5.0.2.jar in your build.

100% agreed. But I think the flashing notice in the docs says CAS 5 is not
yet aimed for widespread deploying.

I'm writing a "getting started" guide with my progress, I will post it
to the list as it improves.
