Open-Xchange loglevels

The loglevel Open-Xchange backend is using for each single class can be defined in the file /opt/open-xchange/etc/file-logging.properties.

To increase the loglevel of the complete Open-Xchange software stack, set 

.level = ALL

on top of that file.

As also explained on top of the same file, the following loglevels exist:

  • ALL
  • INFO
  • FINE

When you changed any value, a restart of the Open-Xchange server is required.

Change loglevel without restarting Open-Xchange

It is also possible to change the loglevel while Open-Xchange is running. This can be achieved by the tool showruntimestats.

Given the same example as above, changing loglevel to ALL of the complete Open-Xchange stack, run 

$ /opt/open-xchange/sbin/showruntimestats -d 'java.util.logging:type=Logging!setLoggerLevel!!ALL!'

and to revert back either restart Open-Xchange or run 

$ /opt/open-xchange/sbin/showruntimestats -d 'java.util.logging:type=Logging!setLoggerLevel!!INFO!'

Note: Changing loglevel via this tool does not change it permanently. After a restart, the values from the file /opt/open-xchange/etc/file-logging.properties are used again.
