Enabling Access Logging in Crucible
Warning
The current solution is not compatible with Fisheye versions up to 4.6.x which bundle Jetty library version 8.1.
Fisheye 4.7.0 and later versions bundle Jetty library version 9.4, in which the settings below are incompatible.
This is being tracked at FE-7172 - Getting issue details... STATUS
To enable access logging in Fisheye versions between 4.6.x and later:
- Stop Fisheye/Crucible,
Create the file
<FishEye install directory>/content/WEB-INF/jetty-web.xml
with the following content:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure//EN" "http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure.dtd" > <Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext"> <Call name="insertHandler"> <Arg> <New id="RequestLog" class="com.cenqua.fisheye.web.jetty.FishEyeRequestLogHandler"> <Set name="requestLog"> <New id="RequestLogImpl" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.NCSARequestLog"> <Set name="filename"><Property name="jetty.logs" default="PATH_LOG_FOLDER"/>/access-yyyy_mm_dd.log</Set> <Set name="filenameDateFormat">yyyy_MM_dd</Set> <Set name="LogTimeZone">GMT</Set> <Set name="retainDays">90</Set> <Set name="append">true</Set> <Set name="LogLatency">true</Set> </New> </Set> </New> </Arg> </Call> </Configure>
- Restart Fisheye/Crucible.
This will create an access log in <FishEye install directory>/var/log/fisheye-access-yyyy_mm_dd.log
format (e.g. fisheye-access-2010_03_17.log). If you want to change the path to your FISHEYE_INST
directory, change the default="./var/log/"
to the path to the log folder in FISHEYE_INST
.
The log directory must exist
If the path to the log directory given by the default
attribute of the SystemProperty
tag (defined in the line 10 in the jetty-web.xml
above) does not exist, then Fisheye will fail to start and will not log any error message.
The path given in the example below is correct when FISHEYE_INST
and the <FishEye install directory>
are the same directory, otherwise please use the absolute path of your FISHEYE_INST/var/log
directory.
Log format
The logs are written in NCSA format:

Please refer to the Jetty documentation for more configuration options.
Compatibility
If you are using an earlier version of Fisheye than Fisheye 2.7.8, replace com.cenqua.fisheye.web.jetty.FishEyeRequestLogHandler
by org.mortbay.jetty.handler.RequestLogHandler
.
FishEyeRequestLogHandler
was added in 2.7.8 to fix an issue where the user credentials would not be added to the NCSA log: FE-3040.
As mentioned at the top, this solution works with Fisheye versions up to 4.6.x. More information can be found at FE-7172 - Getting issue details... STATUS
