JIRA uses a powerful logging module called log4j for runtime logging.
There are five logging levels available in log4j: 'DEBUG', 'INFO', 'WARN', 'ERROR' and 'FATAL'. Each logging level provides more logging information that the level before it:
'DEBUG' < 'INFO' < 'WARN' < 'ERROR' < 'FATAL'
'DEBUG' provides the most verbose logging and 'FATAL' provides the least verbose logging.
The default logging levels can be changed either;
例えばトラブルシューティングの際、ログ レベルを "WARNING" から "INFO" に一時的に変更して、より詳細なエラー メッセージやスタック トレースを取得することができます。必要なログ カテゴリが不明な場合、一般に log4j.rootLogger カテゴリや log4j<category>.com.atlassian カテゴリで有用な情報を取得できます。
log4j.properties file, which is found in the WEB-INF/classes/ directory under the JIRA web application directory.
The log4j.properties file that ships with JIRA has the default logging levels specified. For more information about log4j (e.g. how to define new logging categories), and about the format of the log4j.properties file, please refer to the documentation on the log4j site.
If your application server itself configures logging (e.g. JBoss), you may need to remove the log4j.properties file. On some servers (e.g. JBoss 3.0), you may also need to remove the entire log4j.jar file to get logging to work.
If you are experiencing performance issues with JIRA, it is often helpful to see where the slow-downs occur. To do this you can enable profiling as described below, and then analyse the performance traces that JIRA will produce for every request. An example of a profiling trace is shown below:
[Filter: profiling] Turning filter on [jira_profile=on]
[116ms] - /secure/Dashboard.jspa
[5ms] - IssueManager.execute()
[5ms] - IssueManager.execute()
[5ms] - Searching Issues
[29ms] - IssueManager.execute()
[29ms] - IssueManager.execute()
[29ms] - Searching Issues
[28ms] - Lucene Query
[23ms] - Lucene Search
Profiling can be enabled either;
atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/web.xml (if you are using JIRA Standalone) or webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml in your JIRA installation directory (if you are using JIRA EAR/WAR). <filter>
<filter-name>profiling</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.atlassian.jira.web.filters.JIRAProfilingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<!-- specify the which HTTP parameter to use to turn the filter on or off -->
<!-- if not specified - defaults to "profile.filter" -->
<param-name>activate.param</param-name>
<param-value>jira_profile</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<!-- specify the whether to start the filter automatically -->
<!-- if not specified - defaults to "true" -->
<param-name>autostart</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
autostart parameter to be true instead of false. That is:
<init-param>
<!-- フィルターを自動的に開始するかどうか指定 -->
<!-- 指定しない場合、デフォルトで "true" となります。 -->
<param-name>autostart</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
