Enabling Audit
To enable audit logging edit the UI service log4j configuration file : /app/ui/MonTier-UI/lib/log4j2.xml
Change the "org.montier" logger to level="debug" as describe below :
<Logger name="org.montier.ui.web.filter.AuditFilter" level="debug" additivity="false"> <AppenderRef ref="AUDIT_FILE"/> </Logger>
Make sure to restart the UI service after altering the log4j configuration file.
The output log file will be created in the UI service log directory : /logs/ui with the name catalina.log
