no logs with tomcat

Hello,
We are using reportserver 4.7.7 with tomcat 9, and we don't have any logs in catalina files.

But, when I do
journalctl -f
I can see what I'm looking for

sept. 01 13:30:50 xxx tomcat-9.0.85[338069]:   _____                       _    _____                            ______       _                       _

Do you have any idea?

Re: no logs with tomcat

Hello Arnaud,

please check your logging.properties. The default configuration is pretty simple and can be customized to suit your needs! ( Documentation => search for "Setup Logging" )

But one BIG QUESTIONMARK from your stacktrace: There is this path "/var/lib/tomcat-9.0.85/webapps/reportserver.war" and we do not ship a ".war"!

Can you please provide us more information on your Version of the ReportServer? Especially where do you get that version from?

If you used the github repository and build your own ReportServer you may be the first we know (which would make us incredibly happy!)

kind regards

Felix

Re: no logs with tomcat

Hello,

sorry, but the war I use is just made by a shell script which take the eiffelreport zip file and put in the modified property files. But it has nothing to do with the github repository.

Anyway, when I look the logging-rs.properties file in the version RS4.7.7-6117-2025-08-06-19-38-35-reportserver-ee, I have
.level = SEVERE
net.datenwerke.level = INFO
Is it right?

Thanks
Arnaud
