Log file Description

access

File-based Access Log that records Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) operations processed by PingDataSync. Access log records can be used to provide information about problems during operation processing and about the time required to process each operation.

config-audit.log

Records information about changes made to the server configuration in a format that can be replayed using the dsconfig command.

errors

File-based Error Log that provides information about warnings, errors, and significant events that are not errors but occur during server processing.

server.out

Records anything written to standard output or standard error, which includes startup messages. If garbage collection debugging is enabled, then the information will be written to server.out.

server.pid

Stores the server’s processID.

server.status

Stores the timestamp, a status code, and an optional message that provides additional information about the server status.

setup.log

Records messages that occur during the initial server configuration with the setup command.

sync

File-based Sync Log that records synchronization operations processed by the server. Specifically, the log records all changes applied, detected or failed; dropped operations that were not synchronized; changes dropped because of being out of scope, or no changes needed for synchronization.

sync-pipe-cfg.txt

Records the configuration changes used with the bin/create-sync-pipe-config command. The file is placed wherever the command is run. Typically, this is in <server-root> or in the bin directory.
