Log Locations

All WebUI logs are stored in one default location. Logs are stored on the WebUI Server in the following locations (unless changed by the server setting _WebUI_Logging_LogPath).

Windows Deployment

c:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Server\WebUI\Logs\

Linux Deployment

//var/opt/BESServer/WebUI/Logs/

An additional log in the WebUI directory that contains startup information for the WebUI process.

service-wrapper.log

It is possible to change the location of where logs are written as well as alter the verbosity of the log files. These options can be performed by creating or editing several server settings as described in WebUI Server Settings. Note that these settings should not be altered under most circumstances and should be reserved for very specific situations.
