in server.xml modify Logger elements. To specify log file use path attribute:
<Logger name="tc_log"
path="logs/tomcat.log"
erbosityLevel = "DEBUG"
/>
this will redirect tomcat msgs to file $TOMCAT_HOME/logs/tomcat.log.
Also in "Context" element you can specify different debug levels for your
paticular webapp using debug=number. Somebody already posted the levels on the
mailing list:
Level 0
Errors and states that cause a significant change in program flow.
=> Anything that causes a Discon+Retry or a "giveup" message.
Level 1
Important or inaccessible state information.
=> Connection start, Idle disconnection.
Level 2
Rare things that cause a minor program flow adjustment.
=> No REST, No PASV, etc.
Level 3
Errors and useful messages that are slightly too verbose or common
for 0-2 or don't quite fit in the classifications.
=> Login banner
Level 4
All remote responses or major results. (Trace results)
=> All "999 Xyzzy" responses received.
Level 5
All remote commands or major tasks. (Trace jobs)
=> All commands sent to server.
Level 6
General information that will not be too verbose but is normally a
little less important. (Trace state)
Level 7
Similar to level 3 but verbose or not as useful.
Level 8
Very verbose information that'll probably be useful sometime.
Level 9
Anything and everything else, debugs that probably won't be useful
ever again. (unclassified)
