    - Locating the logs
      HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) produces two types of logs: messages.log and console.log. These logs provide information about the execution of the server. If the server fails to start, this is the only information that you have to debug the failure. The logs also include information about migration of the workspace, ports that it cannot listen on, files that it cannot find, or about HTTP requests sent to the server that it cannot understand. These logs are available on your hard disk, but not viewable on the Test Virtualization Control Panel web UI. The messages.log file contains the same log entries as console.log, but provides additional information (for example, what package logged the entry).
    - Viewing the DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel audit log
      If you are an administrator of HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), you can view the contents of the audit log. The audit log provides information about your overall activity in Test Virtualization Control Panel (for example, failed login attempts, starting and stopping stubs, creating and deleting environments, and creating and deleting domains). These data may be useful for security reasons and for finding out who initiated a particular change (for example, who stopped a stub or who deleted a domain). You can view the audit log on the Test Virtualization Control Panel web UI.
    - Viewing the DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel activity log
      If you are an administrator of HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), you can view, download, and share the contents of the activity log. The activity log provides information about your activity across the various components of Test Virtualization. The data is particularly about the communication between, or control of these components; for example, recording and routing rules sent to proxies. You can view the activity log on the Test Virtualization Control Panel web UI.
    - Enabling and disabling remote diagnostic logging for the JDBC proxy
      To facilitate troubleshooting, HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) administrators can view, download, and share detailed log events information for the JDBC proxy. The capability to display this information in Test Virtualization Control Panel requires enabling remote diagnostic logging for the proxy.
    - Enabling and disabling remote diagnostic logging for the HTTP/TCP proxy
      To facilitate troubleshooting, HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) administrators can view, download, and share detailed log events information for the HTTP/TCP proxy. The capability to display this information in Test Virtualization Control Panel requires enabling remote diagnostic logging for the proxy.
    - Viewing the diagnostic log
      If you are an HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) administrator, you can view, download, and share the contents of the diagnostic log of Test Virtualization Control Panel. The diagnostic log provides information about the execution of the Test Virtualization components. When enabled for a given proxy, this log records the same information as is contained in the log files that proxy writes to the disk, for example, information about how the HTTP proxy matches requests against the rules it has and whether it sends requests to a stub or to the live system. It might also include information about the execution of Test Virtualization Control Panel itself. You can view the diagnostic log on the server web UI.
    - Setting the log level of DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel
      The logging element in the server configuration file of HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) defines the log level.
    - Configuring logging for metrics storage (KairosDB)
      You can use the server configuration file of HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) to configure the level and location of logging for metrics that are stored by using KairosDB.
  - Viewing reports in DevOps Test Hub
    All the project stakeholders can view test reports for multiple testing products from the Results page on HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). You can access the Results page from a web browser. Therefore, there is no need to install the desktop client.
  - Configuring stubs to connect to DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel and the HTTP proxy
    A stub running on its own may not be sufficient in some cases, because it might have dependencies on services such as HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) or the HTTP proxy. If the stub is running on the public cloud and the services are running in the enterprise, you must configure the stub to connect to these services.
  - Troubleshooting: DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel
    You can use workarounds to troubleshoot common problems that you might encounter when you use HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel).

Setting the log level of DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel

The logging element in the server configuration file of HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) defines the log level.

Go to the Test Virtualization Control Panel installation folder and locate the server configuration file. Typically, on Windows computers, the file is in C:\Program Files\HCL\DevOpsTestControlPanel\config and on non Windows computers, in /opt/HCL/DevOpsTestControlPanel/config.
Open server.custom.xml in a text editor.
Locate the logging element and update the log level as necessary. For example:
```
<logging traceFileName="RTCP.log" traceSpecification="*=info:org.springframework.*=info:com.greenhat.*=info"/>
```

For information about the format of the traceSpecification attribute, see Liberty profile: Logging and Trace. To set the log levels, specify the log levels for the com.ghc.*, com.greenhat.*, and com.ibm.greenhat.* packages in the traceSpecification attribute.
