Occasionally we will need to enable EEM server's TRACE logging to diagnose how EEM processes the authentication and authorization requests, as well as to assess performance issues during authentication. here are the steps to enable EEM server TRACE logging level.

Environment

Release: Service Management 17.x

Resolution

You can  put EEM in trace  logging level  by editing %EIAM_HOME%\config\logger\server.xml file

Edit the entries to trace: 

<logger name="eiam.server.ipoz" additivity="false"> 
<level value="trace"/> 
<appender-ref ref="ipoz" /> 
</logger> 

<logger name="eiam.server" additivity="false"> 
<level value="trace"/> 
<appender-ref ref="server" /> 
</logger> 

<logger name="eiam.server.performance" additivity="false">
