Log settings

Use the Log Settings page to customize your PingAccess logs so that you can pinpoint and resolve issues in a more convenient manner.

The Verbose log setting enables you to adjust the amount of information available in your log entries for PingAccess-specific logging categories without needing to apply changes directly within the conf/log4j2.xml file.

PingAccess records runtime, administrative server activities, and audit activity in the respective log files contained in the <PA_HOME>/log folder. For more information on logging in PingAccess, see the Log configuration section.

You can adjust log levels with the Verbose log setting through the administrative console or the administrative API. For more information, see:

Learn more about configuring log levels in the administrative console in Configuring verbose logging in the admin console. Learn more about configuring log levels in the administrative API in the admin API documentation at https://<host>:<admin-port>/pa-admin-api/v3/api-docs/.
