Manual steps if the GUI is not accessible:

You can enable RestAPI and INFO logging manually.

IMPORTANT: smas needs to be restarted after making changes to the domain.xml.init file.

File PATH:  ../SMAS/jboss/domain/configuration/domain.xml.init

IMPORTANT: After RestAPI logs have been collected:

• Ensure <level name="INFO"/> is set to <level name="WARN"/>
• Ensure <level name="ON"/> is set to <level name="OFF"/>

For INFO logging in smas.log – change WARN to INFO:

<size-rotating-file-handler name="FILE">

                   <level name="WARN"/>

                   <formatter>

                       <named-formatter name="PATTERN"/>

                   </formatter>

                   <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="smas.log"/>

                   <rotate-size value="50M"/>

                   <max-backup-index value="10"/>

                   <append value="true"/>

               </size-rotating-file-handler>

And to enable RESTAPI logging – change OFF to ON:

<size-rotating-file-handler name="RESTAPIUSAGE">

                 <level name="OFF"/>

                   <formatter>

                       <named-formatter name="PATTERN"/>

                   </formatter>

                   <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="restapi.log"/>

                   <rotate-size value="50M"/>

                   <max-backup-index value="10"/>

                   <append value="true"/>

               </size-rotating-file-handler>
