Environment

Cause

When generating the default logs for the Azure Data Collector there is further information needed.

Resolution

Here are the steps to enable the Azure Data Collector Debug Logs:

1. Modify the below Azure data collector log4j2 file

vi /usr/local/tomcat/itbm-data-collector/webapps/itfm-cloud-azure-dc/WEB-INF/classes/log4j2.xml

2. Change the DefaultRolloverStrategy

          from <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="2" />

to <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="10" />

3. Add the below two Logger statements after <Loggers> tag

     <Loggers>
         <Logger name="com.vmware.itfm.cloud.datacollector.azure.api" level="debug"/>
         <Logger name="com.vmware.itfm.cloud.datacollector.azure.commons" level="debug"/>

4. Save the file and quit

:wq

5. Trigger the azure data collection from the UI and wait for it to complete.
6. We can monitor that debug logs are being printed by tailing azure data collector log

tail -f /var/log/vrb/data-collector/itfm-azure-dc.log
