Purpose

This article explains how to create an individual file for each log level (e.g. DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR) of the Fisheye/Crucible logs.

Solution

• Locate and open for edit the log4j.xml file available in the FISHEYE_HOME folder.

• The current destination folder path for all log levels assigned to the "value" variable of the "baseFile" parameter. The default value is the following:

<param name="baseFile" value="${fisheye.inst}/var/log/atlassian-fisheye.log"/>

• Replace the value with a new destination path, for example:

  Error log:

  <appender name="fisheye_errorlog" class="com.cenqua.fisheye.logging.DailyRollingFileAppender">
          <param name="baseFile" value="${fisheye.inst}/var/log/fisheye-error.log"/>
          <param name="keepDays" value="7"/>
          <param name="Threshold" value="WARN"/>
          <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
              <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ISO8601} %-5p [%t] %c %C-%M - %m\n"/>
          </layout>
  </appender>

  Debug log:

  <appender name="fisheye_debuglog" class="com.cenqua.fisheye.logging.DailyRollingFileAppender">
          <param name="baseFile" value="${fisheye.inst}/var/log/fisheye-debug.log"/>
          <param name="keepDays" value="7"/>
          ...
  </appender>

  If you are changing the path, the user running Fisheye/Crucible must have write permission to create these files inside the new path.
