Overview

Artifactory log files are found under the ARTIFACTORY_HOME/logs folder.

The following log files are available: 

  • artifactory.log - The main Artifactory log file containing output about the Artifactory server activity.
  • access.log - Security log containing important information about accepted and denied requests, as well as configuration changes, password reset requests etc., including the originating IP address for each event.
  • request.log - Generic http traffic information, similar to the Apache HTTPd request log.
  • import-export.log - A log used for tracking the process of long-running import and export commands.

Tomcat/Servlet container-secific log files

When running Artifactory inside an existing servlet container, the container typically has its own log files.

These files normally contain additional information to that in artifactory.log or application bootstrapping-time information that is not part of the Artifactory logs.

In Tomcat, these files are catalina.out and localhost.yyyy-mm-dd.log, respectively.

Configuring Log Verbosity

Artifactory relies on the Logback Framework for its logging. Logger configuration can be changed in the Logback file: ARTIFACTORY_HOME/etc/logback.xml.

Viewing Log Files from the UI

Artifactory supports monitoring log files from the configuration, as well as downloading the current log files from the browser.

Log files are viewable from the Admin tab then Advanced -> System Logs. You can select which log to tail or download from the drop-down menu.

The log tail view is automatically refreshed every few seconds.

To save system resources, do not leave the log view open in your browser unnecessarily.
