Location of GlassFish Server Logs

Question

I have NetBeans IDE installed on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. Obviously, NetBeans comes with the GlassFish server.

I am currently having problems with a project and would like to check the server logs. Where are these stored please?

In general the logs are in /YOUR_GLASSFISH_INSTALL/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/.

In NetBeans go to the "Services" tab open "Servers", right-click on your Glassfish instance and click "View Domain Server Log".

If this doesn't work right-click on the Glassfish instance and click "Properties", you can see the folder with the domains under "Domains folder". Go to this folder -> your-domain -> logs

If the server is already running you should see an Output tab in NetBeans which is named similar to GlassFish Server x.x.x

You can also use cat or tail -F on /YOUR_GLASSFISH_INSTALL/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log. If you are using a different domain then domain1 you have to adjust the path for that.

I've found that for the current version (8.1) you need to go into the "output" pane and inside the "GlassFish Server 4.1.1" tab to find your stack trace. — CSS, Nov 26 '15 at 03:55

Locate the installation path of GlassFish. Then move to domains/domain-dir/logs/ and you'll find there the log files. If you have created the domain with NetBeans, the domain-dir is most probably called domain1.

See this link for the official GlassFish documentation about logging.

I use NetBeans 8.2: in the GlassFish Server properties there are two paths: the **Installation path** and the **Domain Folder**. They have similar structure, but in my case, the log file was in the **Domain Folder** (_C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.0.2\config\GF_4.1\domain1\logs_) – T30 Jun 26 '15 at 10:57

tail -f /path/to/glassfish/domains/YOURDOMAIN/logs/server.log

You can also upload log from admin console : http://yoururl:4848
