Enabling RavenDB logging?

[BAM]

I'm using build 701 which I just deployed to replace last stable
(616?).

The Logs screen shows this message:

Logs end point is not enabled.
To enable it, add a file called 'NLog.config' in the same directory
as the server, with the following content:

Then there is an empty box where, I assume, the "following content" is
supposed to be.

Searches on this turned up some old threads indicating this was a
problem, but had been fixed. Is it an old bug re-surfacing or am I
doing something wrong?

I do have an NLog.xml and NLog.dll in bin under the Raven root. I
tried cp NLog.xml NLog.config. Didn't do anything.

FYI - My old build was never showed any log records. (It was on my
list to get that set up, but...) However it did not show the message
above just never logged anything.

Thanks in advance,

B.

A known issue which will be fixed in a few days:

Thanks.

Is there a way I can enable logging?

Reading through the configuration values on the Raven site it seems
like it is on by default. But as far as I can see there isn't anything
definitive there.

Put this in a NLog.config next to the server .config file.

Oren,

Thanks for the reply. I think I may have not given you enough
information. I am running an IIS instance. I don't have a
server .config file.

I put the contents you provided in file called NLog.config and placed
a copy in the root and the bin file under the root. For good measure I
restarted the server. No change in the studio view. I do though now
seem to have a logfile in the logs directory.

Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks,

B.

Bam, do you know where the Raven.Server.exe file is located? 

when you do, create a file called nlog.config in the same directory (aka side by side) to the Raven.Server.exe.

[BAM]

Justin,

The Raven.Server.exe is in the bin directory referenced in my reply to
Oren. There is a copy there. I still see the "end point not enabled"
message in studio. There are, however, log files. And in the studio I
can see active counts (upper left "Logs (## entries)"). No log
information other than the count is displayed in studio.

[legion]

I have the same issue after adding nlog.config to my IIS instance. However i did notice that it indicates there are 69 entries.

[BAM]

Yes, that's what I meant by the active count.

[BAM]

legion,

Has anyone given you an answer? I can see the logs if I remote into
the server. But so far studio will only display the count.

Anyone?

I just got the correct NLog.config file in the Server directory and it doesnt show the logs but the counter is running and quite fast so i am guessting something is being thrown to the log file based on the logging being broken somehow. I also installed this same version on my Windows 8 machine and copied over the same config file and everything works fine. It shows the log and only has a few entries. So i removed the file on my Windows 7 box until its fixed. I just wanted to let you know it seems to work fine on Windows 8 for some reason but not Windows 7. Not sure why...  

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

It is possible that this is an SL5 issue, can you check build 707?

[BAM]

I am seeing the same counter but no logs, and am not running SL5, but
4.0.60831.0

I just got the newer 712 and it shows the counter but doesnt show any log. At least before it showed a box where the log file would display, now it doesnt even show that.

I am running SL5 on Windows 7 64.

On top of that, IE keeps crashing whenever i keep the studio open for more then a few minutes on any tab except the summary. I know its unstable...

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

Yes, we just found out about this.

Fixed in a local build, and will be out soon.

Unstable is unstable :-)

If it helps, 712 is now running our production systems. The UI has a problem (NRE in a background thread causing a crash), but the rest seems to be working just fine.

[aaron navaro]

I am using the config listed above and version 701.

The error I get is below, am I supposed to be replacing the 'HttpEndpoint' text with a url or something? :

Server Error in '/' Application.

Aaron,

How did you get this error?

Are you SURE you are using 701?

In the BootStrapper code, we have a call to HttpEndpointRegistration.RegisterHttpEndpointTarget();

Which register the HttpEndpoint target.

Using BUILD 960

[Maverix]

Fixed by adding HttpEndpointRegistration.RegisterHttpEndpointTarget(); in the OnStart() of the EntryRole

It was being called in the BootStrapper.Init(); i'm not sure why this wasn't working

There is no console logging when running as service, since there is no console.

You can enable debug logging using the specified approach : http://ravendb.net/docs/server/deployment/docs-debug-logging
