How do I increase server logging using the command line?

[MoeE]

Hi,

I currently don't have access to the UI and I need to increase server logging using repctl. I found the command putserverlogging but I am unable to find out how exactly to use it. 

Thanks,

Mohammed

Hello @MoeE ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Qlik community!

You can increase the logging level on both the server and task levels using the following commands:

• For server logging: repctl putserverlogger
• For task logging: repctl puttasklogger

In order to find the exact syntax you need to execute, you can simply run the following commands, and they will provide you with the syntax information:

• For task logging: repctl puttasklogger ?
• For server logging: repctl putserverlogger ?

Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions or need further assistance.

Thanks for being a part of the Qlik community!

Hi Arun, 

I can't seem to figure out the Syntax. Can you please provide an example command for increasing the SERVER logger to Trace level? Thanks.

Regards,

Mohammed

@Arun_Arasu , nice try but it is NOT possible to pass 'structure' type arguments to REPCTL commands. I'll be very happy (and very surprised) if you can actually make it work. Please share!

@MoeE No can do. You cannot get there from here. The Repctl command list and help text is auto-generated from an internal API. For many calls that works one-on-one for the command line, but it doesn't work work for commands requiring a structure. That makes for very 'promising' command names like 'puttasklogger' but there is no joy there.  This is one of several reasons why REPCTL is NOT support.
