Magnolia and public instance logs

[Vishal K]

Hi all,

It seems that  magnolia only logs the requests or activities on the author instance. The activities like login from public instance are not captured in the log file.

Any workaround or solution, guys,

Thanks in advance,
Vishal

Hi,

 

Any kind of logging that works in Authoring can also be activated in public. It’s just a matter of adjusting your log4j configuration, or activating things like the audit logs.

Thank you for your quick response.

So, by default, all the logs from public instance, will not be captured in the author instance log files?

Hi Vishal,

 

That is correct, the public instances are their own thing. They could be installed in the same tomcat as the author instance, but usually they have their own servers.

In any case each instance (each public and author) have their own set of log-files. It’s all configured via log4j2, but even if you change the configuration the separate instances cannot log to the same files.

 

In any kind of larger deployment I would *strongly* recommend to include a solution like graylog or splunk (or stackdriver or equivalent if running in a cloud), which let you concentrate the logs from the different instances into one searchable database.

Thanks a lot, Richard.

Your answer really helped me well. I assume we can use AWS cloudwatch for monitoring logs from all instances as well?
