Enabling SQL query logging on startup

1. Create a file <BITBUCKET_HOME>/logback.xml with the following text in it:

   <included>
   <logger name="org.hibernate.SQL" level="DEBUG"/>
   </included>

2. Restart your Bitbucket Server instance.

3. Look for org.hibernate.SQL logging lines in <BITBUCKET_HOME>/log/atlassian-bitbucket.log such as:

   2014-12-04 19:39:39,749 DEBUG [clusterScheduler_Worker-8]  
   org.hibernate.SQL delete sta_activity_0 from sta_activity 
   sta_activity_0  inner join HT_sta_pr_rescope_activity 
   HT_sta_pr_rescope_activity_0 on sta_activity_0.id=HT_sta_pr_rescope_activity_0.activity_id

Enabling parameter logging

SQL queries are parameterized with ?. If you need to see the parameter data, you can enable parameter logging by changing the logback.xml file as below.

<included>
<logger name="org.hibernate.SQL" level="DEBUG"/>
<logger name="org.hibernate.type" level="TRACE"/>
</included>

Enabling SQL query logging at runtime

This method enables the debug log level for SQL queries at runtime, without the need of restarting Bitbucket Server. More details are provided on the Enable debug logging page.

curl -X PUT -u <ADMIN_USERNAME> <BASE_URL>/rest/api/latest/logs/logger/org.hibernate.SQL/debug

Use the following to disable the debug log level by setting it back to warn:

curl -X PUT -u <ADMIN_USERNAME> <BASE_URL>/rest/api/latest/logs/logger/org.hibernate.SQL/warn
