Application logs

Application log file

The application log records information about activities in application instances. This log is used primarily for debugging (logging uncommon events that occur in an application instance).

The default application log is application.xx.log, located in the subdirectory within the Adobe Media Server logs directory. Adobe Media Server is configured, by default, to create one application log per application instance. The application folder is located in the matching virtual host directory. The “xx” in the filename is a two-digit number representing the history of the application log. The most recent logs can be found in application.00.log.
