20.8.4. Enable Logging for HornetQ

You can enable logging for HornetQ in EAP 6.x using any of the following approaches:
  • Editing server configuration files (standalone-full.xml and standalone-full-ha.xml) manually
  • Editing server configuration files using the CLI

Procedure 20.1. Set HornetQ logging by editing server configuration files manually

  1. Open the server configuration file(s) for editing. For example standalone-full.xml and standalone-full-ha.xml
  2. Navigate to logging subsystem configuration in the file(s). The default configuration looks like this:
    <logger category="com.arjuna">
     <level name="TRACE"/>
    </logger>
    ...
    <logger category="org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler">
     <level name="WARN"/>
    </logger>
    ....
    
  3. Add the org.hornetq logger category along with the desired logging level as shown in the following example:
    <logger category="com.arjuna">
      <level name="TRACE"/>
    </logger>
    ...
    <logger category="org.hornetq">
      <level name="INFO"/>
    </logger>
    ....
    
Result

HornetQ logging is enabled and log messages are processed based on the configured log level.

Set HornetQ logging by editing server configuration files using the CLI

You can also use CLI to add the org.hornetq logger category along with the desired logging level to server configuration file(s). For more information see: Section 14.3.2, “Configure a Log Category in the CLI”
