Changes

The server logs are written in plain text. In your [[Configuration#Database Directory|Database Directory]], you can find a folder named <code>.logs</code> in which all log files are stored with the according date. Note that, depending on your OS and configuration, files and folders beinning with a <code>.</code> may be hidden. The log directory can be changed via the {{Option|LOGPATH}} option.

Some more notes on the logging facility:

==RESTXQ==

By default, RESTXQ code is executed with the {{Code|admin}} user. As a result, this user will be displayed in the logs for all RESTXQ requests. In a web application with a custom user management, however, the name of the actual user who has sent a request is often more relevant.

; Example 1:

01:18:12.892 SERVER admin OK Server was started (port: 1984)

01:18:15.436 127.0.0.1:4722 jack REQUEST XQUERY for $i in 1 to 5 return random:double()

01:18:15.447 127.0.0.1:4722 jack REQUEST EXIT

01:18:15.447 127.0.0.1:4722 jack OK 0.39 ms

A server has been started and a user <code>jack</code> has connected to the server to perform a query and exit properly.

; Example 2:

01:23:33.251 127.0.0.1:4736 john OK QUERY[0] 'hi' 0.44 ms

01:23:33.337 127.0.0.1:4736 john OK ITER[0] 1.14 ms

01:23:33.359 127.0.0.1:4736 john REQUEST EXIT

01:23:33.359 127.0.0.1:4736 john OK 0.14 ms

A user <code>john</code> has performed an iterative query, using one of the client APIs.

; Example 3:

01:31:51.888 127.0.0.1:4803 admin REQUEST [GET] http://localhost:8984/rest/factbook

01:31:51.892 127.0.0.1:4803 admin 200 4.43 ms

An admin user has accessed the <code>factbook</code> database via REST.
