Overview

SolarWinds support may need to enable debugging to diagnose a DPA issue. This is done by turning on setLogger. To turn on set loggers you must first authenticate into the DPA site as an administrator, then edit the URL in the browser and enter it.

Resolution

There are two ways you can turn on logging: by specifying the Java package or by Component. Components are a merge of some Java packages, so you can use one URL instead of multiple.

Debugging by component

Enable Debug:

https://<DPAserver>:8124/iwc/setLogger.iwc?level=DEBUG&component=<COMPONENT_NAME>

Enable Trace: 

https://<DPAserver>:8124/iwc/setLogger.iwc?level=TRACE&component=<COMPONENT_NAME>

Disable:

https://<DPAserver>:8124/iwc/setLogger.iwc?level=INFO&component=<COMPONENT_NAME>
