Hi @EddieMay ,

I am using SDK 4.1 Enterprise Edition and wasnt able to get alfresco.log file. I also tried to use log4j.appender.File.File=Filename.log but wasnt able to find Filename.log file anywhere in my system.

Thanks and Regards,

Piyush

# use log4j NDC to replace %x with tenant domain / username
log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} %x %-5p [%c{3}] [%t] %m%n
#log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c] %m%n

# File appender definition #
log4j.appender.File=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.File.File=share.log
log4j.appender.File.Append=true
log4j.appender.File.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd

Hi @piyush48

I think your log settings are not correct. "Filename.log" won't exist - "Filename" is a placeholder for the real log file on your system. Try something like:

log4j.appender.File.File=/var/log/alfresco/alfresco.log

where the "/var/log/alfresco/" is the path to where you aflresco log file is.

Hi @EddieMay ,

Thanks for the help but it didnt generate audit log anywhere. I have a project with name alfresco.contentservice and in that folder ankert-acs and in that all the folders like platform,share etc folders are there. I want logs file inside ankert-acs. Like we do use to get in community edition. I dont know why it is not generating logs though audit is enabled. I have given my configuration of log4j.properties file above.

Please guide me out.

Thanks,

Piyush.
