Environment
Retain (version 1.6, 2.x, 3.x, 4.x)
Retain Server (Linux and Windows)
Retain Worker (Linux, NetWare, Windows)
Situation
Where are the log files located for the Retain Server and the Retain Worker?
Note: The Retain Server is only available for Linux and Windows. There is not a Retain Server for NetWare; however, the Retain Worker is supported on all 3 operating systems.
Resolution
Since Retain uses an integrated Retain-Tomcat process, the logs will be stored all within the Retain directory.
The Retain logs will be found on the box where the Retain software is installed, whether it be the Retain Server and all the Retain components (Worker, Reporting & Monitoring Server, etc) or a server dedicated to a particular component (i.e., Worker).
Linux
Their location will depend upon the option chosen during installation:
/opt/beginfinite/retain/tomcat[n]/logs (where "n" is the Tomcat version).
/var/log/retain-tomcat[n]/ (where "n" is the Tomcat version).
Windows
Retain 3.5.1 & 4.0:
[drive]:\Program Files\Beginfinite\Retain\Tomcat [n]\logs (where "n" is the Tomcat version).
Up to Retain 3.5:
[drive]:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat[n]\logs (where "n" is the Tomcat version).
Retain 4.7+ - changes the directory to just tomcat instead of tomcat[version]. This will be the standard Retain logs directory for future revisions of Retain.
Windows
[drive]:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat\logs
Linux
/opt/beginfinite/retain/tomcat/logs
For versions of Retain prior to 1.6, the logs were located in the actual Tomcat directories.
Linux: /srv/www/tomcat5/base/logs
Windows: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat5.5\logs
NetWare: sys:\tomcat\4\logs
For information on changing the default location of the logs, see, "Changing the Location of Retain Logs".
