Activating DEBUG Logging for AppDynamics Machine Agent

[Abhi.Bajaj]

Step-by-Step Guide to Enabling DEBUG Logs in Machine Agent

Debug logs for Machine Agents are important to help you understand issues and help you fix them.

• To enable, edit <MA-Home>/conf/logging/log4j.xml file.
• As shared in the screenshot, set the level = "debug"
  

  <Logger name="com.singularity" level="debug" additivity="false">
                <AppenderRef ref="FileAppender"/>
    
  </Logger>
    
  <Logger name="com.appdynamics" level="debug" additivity="false">
    
                <AppenderRef ref="FileAppender"/>
    
  </Logger>

• Once done, save the file
• The Machine Agent reads this file every few minutes so DEBUG logging will automatically take effect
• Once complete, logs can be found in the <MA-Home>/logs folder
