2.1.2. Debug Log Files

Debug log files provide information to help troubleshoot OpenAM problems.

The number of messages that OpenAM logs to the debug log files varies depends on the debug logging level. The default debug logging level is Error. With other logging levels, such as Warning and Message, OpenAM logs many more debug log messages and creates many more debug log files than it does by default.

When configured with the Message logging level, OpenAM can produce more than a hundred debug log files. Use the debug log file names to determine the type of troubleshooting information in each file. For example, the OpenAM command-line interface logs debug messages to the amCLI debug file. The OpenAM OAuth2 provider logs debug messages to the OAuth2Provider debug file. The OpenAM Naming Service logs messages to the amNaming debug file.
