The server log viewer does not even provide the option to search by
dates. From looking at the code we get a reference to the system log
and then query the log to get all of the files. For some reason this
appears to always return just the current file. This may be an error in
the Log4JService.
Of course, this is to get things working the way that it seems they were
intended to work (with the drop-down list of files). We can also
consider making this more functional as with the web access log viewer.
I think that you should open a JIRA on the drop-down failure to display
the multiple log files. It appears this is broken.

I think I remember that for the web access logs if you search by date
range it will look into the other files produced for the same log. It
may be that the server log viewer doesn't do this. If not, I'd have
to think about whether we should try to search old logs automatically
or just show them all in the drop-down.

Hi
I have a question on Server log settings.
Documentation says about Server Log Viewer as follows.
"The File pull-down menu allows you to select the log file to view. The
logs listed in this pull-down menu are ruled by the
Configuration File (server-log4j.properties by default) specified in the
Log Manager portlet."
Suppose I have maximum file size as 300KB. When server log reaches the
limit it will create a new log file.
But I am not able to select any previous log files through Server Log
Viewer Portlet to view the log messages in it.
The pull down menu displays only one log file which is being currently
written to.
does Server Log viewer portlet display all the log files created ?
Thanks
phani
